What emails are you refering to Bob - ones specific to this 
list?

Is this email being flushed (deleted) the first time you are 
downloading it. Using fetchmail I can download emails, and 
specify either the 'keep' or 'no-keep' option to either 
download and not delete, or download and delete from the 
mail server.

Kind Regards,
