Fetchmail message “not flushed”
I'm running fetchmail 6.3.17 and when retrieving mail I often see this in the log:
fetchmail: reading message user@do.ca@pop.where.mail.net:1 of 3 (50420 octets) not flushed
fetchmail: reading message user@do.ca@pop.where.mail.net:2 of 3 (52646 octets) not flushed
fetchmail: reading message user@do.ca@pop.where.mail.net:3 of 3 (59321 octets) not flushed
and this repeats on the next iteration too. What does "not flushed" mean and why is it appearing? The message are obviously remaining on the pop server so I would like to retrieve them and then get rid of them. Other messages seem to move fine.
(This might be answered in a FAQ somewhere but I can't find it)

In /etc/fetchmailrc, set the nokeep option at the end of your poll entry.

ok I've added nokeep, but how does a message on the source pop server get into a "not flushed" state? Does it mean the message was downloaded (and forwarded to the destination SMTP server) or fetchmail is having trouble downloading it?
