The employer will have to be real daft to have such a policy. Pretty
soon, the mailbox quotas will be filled, what then?

Fetchmail has no option to download only new messages. The only
options of note are the "all" option which'll get everything, and the
"keep" option which'll suck all but leave the msgs on the mail host.
There's one way though....if you can run a procmail recipe right at
your mail host, it might help, like you download all the headers and
select those messages you want to download. But don't think KMAIL is
capable of this. If your mail host follows the IMAP proto, it might
help.
