Fetchmail problem. Keeps downloading the same mail

in Command Line

Im having a problem with my Fetchmail.

When i run the program it keeps fetching the same mail everytime.

My fetchmailrc looks like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------

#set daemon 600

#set logfile /home/username/fetchmail.log

poll "mail.server.com" protocol POP3

user "NAME" pass "PASSWORD" is "USERNAME" here

# ssl

# fetchall

keep

# no rewrite

mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -d %T"

------------------------------------------------------------------

I know if im not using keep it will work but i want to use it, it must be a way so fetchmail knows which mail it already has been fetching?

    You'll probably have to delete the old mail on the server. Removing keep might also help.

    There must be an option to mark the messages you download as read so you won't download them again the next time you check your email.
