[Fetchmail-users] downloading by date range

[graeme v. <gra...@ve...>]

Good day, my 1st post.


I've been using fetchmail for the past many years (decades?) . I always 
used it in the same fashion

I polled my ISP every 5 minutes and poped or imapped (without -keep) the 
mail down to a local server.  This has worked

well.


However I have needed to change my ISP (after about 20 years) and my new 
mail solution has an online mailbox of around 10GB.


Looking at the sizes, it seems as if I could actually leave the mail on 
the online server (which has the advantage I can access it outside the 
house network) for at least a year.


I don't want to simply leave all my email online. So what I'd like to do 
is something like.


Pulldown my current email once a day , but with -keep, so it stays on 
the remote mailserver.


Then, maybe about once a month, download WITHOUT KEEP mail over 12 
months old.


This would have th effect of keeping about a years worth of mail 
available online, while having a backup kept daily.


It's not obvious to me what the best way to achieve this is?
