You're using "keep" (don't delete any messages) and "fetchall"
(download all messages, even those we've seen before), along with a
limit of 20.

You're NEVER going to get beyond those initial 20.  Drop the
"fetchall" line and you'll probably have more luck (and I'm pretty
sure 6.3.x will print warnings when you combine keep, fetchall and
daemon mode).
