Subject:   Fetchmail keeps on retrieving the same messages

Hi, I have been playing around with fetchmail the last couple of days and
cant get it to act right. I start it as a daemon with the following
command line:

fetchmail --invisible --uidl -d 300

and my .fetchmailrc file looks like this:

poll xpressnet.net proto pop3 user mceder pass * keep

When I start fetchmail, it retrieves ALL messages on the server, no matter
if they have been polled before or not. Now, If I get a message during
this time it comes down fine, and the next time it does not download it
again. If I shut down fetchmail, either using fetchmail --quit or simply
killing the process, and then start it back up again.. bang, it downloads
ALL the messages again!! Any ideas?
