Veedu Please do not top-post. http://catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-man.html You can run fetchmail with that option explicitly: fetchmail --expunge 66 ... or add it to the fetchmailrc as an option expunge 66 This is just as the fetchmail manpage instructs you. There are several more useful options and the manpage is worth to read at all. Alexander
