Fetchmail Question

[Wil McGilvery]

If you use fetchmail to mark messages as unread will they not be downloaded again the next time since they are still unread?

Why not use procmail? You can forward email to the blackberry easily.

A second option would be to use the RIM web client to collect the mail of your server.

Just a couple of suggestions.

Subject: [TLUG]: Fetchmail Question

We're currently looking into replacing Exchange here at work, and one of 
the solutions we're currently testing is Citadel (citadel.org).

Everything is working very well thus far, with one exception.

We have several Blackberry users. We currently forward their mail 
directly from Exchange. OUr guinea pig for this with Citadel is having 
his forwarded through fetchmail. The only problem with this is when he 
opens his mail client (Thunderbird), his messages are marked as read.

Here's the fethcmailrc:

poll 127.0.0.1 with proto pop3
uidl
user "user1" there with password "*****" is user1-+D8dom/p7m7rxkFu3R+SStHuzzzSOjJt at public.gmane.org 
keep smtphost "/usr/local/citadel/lmtp-unfiltered.socket"

 From what I understand, the uidl command along with proto pop3 should 
keep the unread flag. Is this correct? Any suggestions on how to correct 
this?
