What emails are you refering to Bob - ones specific to this
list?
Is this email being flushed (deleted) the first time you are
downloading it. Using fetchmail I can download emails, and
specify either the 'keep' or 'no-keep' option to either
download and not delete, or download and delete from the
mail server.
Kind Regards,
