Why do you think fecthmail sucks? It does a neat job. What alternative do you suggest anyway?
Actually, what I'd like from fetchmail, is a way to limit the max size of mails downloaded based on the total size of the mailbox.
ie, if my mailbox is 60K, then I don't mind downloading files of size 60K. If my mailbox is 120K, then I don't mind downloading files of size 20K, if my mailbox is 200K, then I don't mind downloading mails of size 10K.
The funda - if I have a small mailbox, then I'll download all mails, but if I have a large mailbox, I'll download small mails now, and leave big mails for when I have a cheaper connection.
