However, because fetchmail uses the unread status as a flag of which emails to fetch, all downloaded emails are marked as 'read' on the server, which can make things a bit annoying. Possibly another mail retrieval agent (like getmail, for example) would solve that issue.


This will be helpful once I attempt to transition to ProtonMail.  Thanks!
