Im having a problem with my Fetchmail.

When i run the program it keeps fetching the same mail everytime.

My fetchmailrc looks like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------
#set daemon 600
#set logfile /home/username/fetchmail.log

poll "mail.server.com" protocol POP3
user "NAME" pass "PASSWORD" is "USERNAME" here
# ssl
# fetchall
keep
# no rewrite
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T"
------------------------------------------------------------------

I know if im not using keep it will work but i want to use it, it must be a way so fetchmail knows which mail it already has been fetching?

Have you tried with another client as we suggested?

Have you tried creating a subfolder whithin that directory you created?

Maybe Outlook needs a special way of configuring the folders ("/" instead of "."). Check http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir

I have tried with another client, but its the same result.

i cant create a folder because all mail is stored in 1 file... not in folders.
i think the problem is because of that.

But im rather a newbie so i dont know that much of how it works...[/quote]

Are you using mbox or maildir format?

EDIT: stupid question, forget about it.[/quote]

Dunno :)

I haven't change anything in the /etc/dovecot.conf
it just worked... :)

Im using fetchmail to fetch the mail and it stores the mail in /var/spool/mail/"username"

EDIT: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u <- that's the conf im using...

Thanks for your answers guys!

Its true, i can connect to the server and it works fine... Its just when i try to create a subfolder under INBOX that the server rejects. I can create a folder in the root.. but when i tried to create a sub folder in THAT folder it rejects again...

Anyone who knows what to do?

Hi!

I wonder how i can get subdirectories (.INBOX/***/*** etc...) in dovecot...
I just stardet a mail server and when i tried to create it from the mail client (MS Outlook) it says that the server wont allow it...

Anyone who knows a solution?
