I didn't get that email ... so sorry for mailing on this again.

Has no effect here ... now .gotmailrc looks like:
  username=USERNAME
  password=PASSWORD
  domain=hotmail.com
  forward=torsten
  save-to-login
  only-new
  #delete
  move=Trash Can
  ssl
  folders=Inbox
  retry-limit=3
but the emails are tagged as read, and stay in Inbox (its not a real
prob as I only fetch the new ones!).
