My getmail [options] section looks like this:

[options]
read_all = False
delete_after = 1
message_log_syslog = false
message_log_verbose = false
verbose = 0

and is being run by a cronjob that's triggered every 10 minutes. Its
retrieving all incoming mail without duplicating anything and without
leaving anything lurking in my incoming mailbox.

Its running in MultidropPOP3Retriever, with mail to one particular user
being separated out and written to that user's mailbox. Everything else
gets run through SA where spam is quarantined and everything else is
delivered to my local Postfix MTA for distribution within my LAN via
Dovecot.
 
This set-up has been running reliably for over a year now.
