hi there,

currently i'm looking for a feature to keep received mails at the
mailbox of my orts pop3 account to gain spam bayes checkings later.

in the file PostMasterPOP3.pl i commented out
'$PopObject->delete($Messageno);' but the result was not
satisfactorily because at the next run the old mails will be fetched
again.

normaly should the mails they are fetched marked as red (Status: RO)
and the fetch function should never fetch mails again they have the
red flag.

the options like the program 'fetchmail' are these:
-
keep
#fetchall flush
-

in the perl module POP3.pm i searched for such function but i didn't
find them. :-((

does anyone have a workaround for me to keep the mails in the pop3
account and never fetch the fetched mails again?
yes, i know. it would be very simple to make a carbon copy to a
nother pop3 account, but i need the mails in the main pop3 account.

thx in advanced,
sven
