getmail double-downloading
hi folks,
I've recently acquired a problem with getmail. Most of the time it
works fine -- it downloads my messages, leves them on the server for
two days, and then delet them. But every so often -- once every ouple
of days -- it will re-download the whole mailbox (which uually has
about 1500 messages in it by that time).
this is becoming a pain!
so I wonder what's causing it. I lookedi n my .getmail/log, and I see
no indication of anything wrong -- all that happens is that, suddenly,
all the messages get reloaded.
In the getmail FAQ, it's suggested that this kind of problem usually
has to do with a broken POP server -- though even that would be aa
strange explanation, since the mafunciton is episodic and
unpredictable. Also, I'm pretty sure the probblem first arose when I
upgraded to Sid, found that getmail 3.1 wouldn|t work with my
popserver account, and then DOWNGRADEd back to 2.7.
So, anyones seen this behavior before? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
matt
