When using fetchmail I check some accounts with the keep option - in my .fetchmailrc file I have the account:

poll mail.server.net
with proto POP3

user 'user@mail.server.net' there
with pass 'passsword'
is 'user' here
options keep

I run fechmail using the command line:

fecthmail -f /fetchmaster/.fetchmailrc -d 300

user gets his mail and all seems well... until five minutes later he gets another copy of his mail.

When I check using webmail the mail is marked as read but fetchmail still just keeps getting eveything in the mailbox every five minutes?!??!!?!

Is the -a option on as default?!?!?!

What is happening?!?!?
