[fetchmail-users] Getting only messages older than X days

[Arik F. <ari...@gm...>]

Hello together,

does anybody know if it is possible to use fetchmail to get only 
messages that are older than X days?

The idea is to use fetchmail to create an archive of my various email 
accounts at a central location... but only archive emails that have been 
on the respective account for some time, such as to give me time to 
delete spam and unwanted mail with my email client before archiving.

Cheers,
Arik

fetchmail does not support such age-based operations (yet).
