gmail pop3 is somehow doing some evil. It will randomly resist
downloading some mails. This has pissed me off many times ! I first
thought this might be fetchmail's problem, so i try switching to
`getmail'. Then, from getmail i found there's a FAQ entry just talking
about this issue:
,----[ getmail doesn't download all my mail from Gmail … ]
| There's a couple of different problems here. One is that Google's Gmail
| service violates the POP3 protocol by removing messages from the POP3
| view of the mailbox without the user issuing a DELE command. They do
| this as soon as an RETR command is given, so if getmail tries to
| download a message and it fails for any reason (delivery fails due to a
| full disk, or the Gmail server fails to respond, or the network
| connection dies before the transfer is complete, or the Gmail server
| fails to respond to the QUIT command, or …), the next time getmail
| connects to that Gmail account, Gmail will have "helpfully" deleted the
| message from the POP3 mailbox, even though getmail never issued a DELE
| command. So Gmail silently destroys mail, from a POP3
| perspective. There's nothing getmail can do about this.
|
| Note this feature of Gmail is not well-publicized. The only
| mention I can find of it is here:
|
| http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13291&topic=1555
|
| The other issue here is that Google doesn't include mail from your trash
| or spam folders in the POP3 view, so getmail can't see those messages
| either. That's generally less of an issue, provided their spam filters
| never give false positive results (ha!).

黄金错刀白玉装,夜穿窗扉出光芒。
丈夫五十功未立,提刀独立顾八荒。
京华结交尽奇士,意气相期共生死。
千年史册耻无名,一片丹心报天子。
尔来从军天汉滨,南山晓雪玉嶙峋。
呜呼!楚虽三户能亡秦,岂有堂堂中国空无人!
