Namaste Shivanand,
You could e.g. add option "flush" to the end of your fetchmail
parameter file, to make it look something like:
poll provider.net protocol pop3 \
username myself password secret \
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d user1 user2" flush
This way you are sure that every message is deleted on the server
right after successful download.
Best regards,
R�diger
