I'd suggest you pop over to the fetchmail-users mailing list, having
read the FAQ, where we'll be happy to help ;)

You may want to add the fetchall (and nokeep) options.  On the command
line use "-a -K".  That will force all emails, new and old, to be
downloaded and then deleted.  If you want to leave them there don't
use "-K".
