fetchmail configuration

[Sandip P Deshmukh <deshmukh@escortsmumbai.com>]

hello all!

i have set-up exim successfully. in the sense, i can send mails out from 
 my machine using mutt or mail <e-mail address> to any address now.

now, i used fetchnmailconf to configure fetchmail for myself. i provided 
all usernames, passwords, pop3 server addresses etc

here is output of my fetchmail -c:

1 message for deshmukh at 192.168.100.1 (35328 octets).
fetchmail: No mail for user at server
etc.

fetchmail -d0 > flog & results in flog that looks like:

1 message for deshmukh at 192.168.100.1 (955 octets).
reading message sandip.deshmukh@subdimension.com:1 of 1 (955 octets) 
flushed
etc.

now, i want to know, what is this flushed? where has this message gone?

my /var/mail/sandip is 0 bytes

there is no mbox file in ~.

thanx
