[fetchmail-devel] Fwd: fetchmail downloading with message number as a parameter

[Joe M <joe...@gm...>]

I am attaching a patch to add a --startnum option to fetchmail. This
enables fetchmail to start downloading from the specified message
number instead of from the first message. This helps with flaky SMTP
connections where the connection is closed after a certain number of
messages are downloaded.

This is my first patch to fetchmail. Please let me know if there is a
better way of going about this.

Below is further explanation of my issue.

Subject: fetchmail downloading with message number as a parameter

Hello,

I am using fetchmail to download from my hotmail account.

It downloads a hundred or so emails and the connection dies. It does
this every time. I have the "keep" option set so it keeps downloading
the first emails again and again.

I am trying to figure out if I can tell fetchmail to download a
certain message number or range of message numbers.


Any thoughts or other alternative ideas that I can try, please?

Thanks
Joe
