Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.2.5-12
Severity: minor

I set up fetchmail with a POP3 server without using the uidl option, and
was confused to see it using a .fetchids file anyway.  I discovered that
fetchmail tries to use UIDL even if not configured to, if the LAST
command is not supported by the server (pop3.c starting at line 828 in
the Debian source).  This should probably be documented.
