[ILUG-BOM] fetchmail + gmail: How to prevent downloading archived mail

Dear List,

I use my GMail address to receive all my mails. I use POP to receive
the mails and a copy of every mail is archived after it is downloaded
from the server. I use fetchmail to download the messages and Mutt is
my mailing agent. Sometimes, when I receive a large number of
messages, I check my mail directly on mail.google.com , that is I read
the mails and archive them. Now, the next time I use fetchmail to
download my mails, the mails which I'd read and archived are also
downloaded. Is there any way to prevent this?

Regards,
Aparna.
