It sounds to me like everything would be a heck of a lot simpler if you
used an IMAP server. That way it wouldn't matter if Mail 'fetched'
messages or if your perl script did. All the messages would remain on
the server until explicitly deleted.
I am using IMAP. But Mail.app still has to fetch the mail headers and
update the messages. It does so at intervals specified by the user,
regardles of whether this is IMAP or not. So if I decide to do this
every hour, I won't know there are new messages until the Mail fetches
the headers. My notification app will get notified immediately upon
arrival at the mail server. So ideally, I'd like to completely disable
schedules in Mail.app and issue a fetch when I tell it to through my
app. Hope this clarifies the issue.
Somewhat. You can disable and re-enable autofetching, but I'm not sure
why you want to be able to tell Mail to actually perform a fetch. Why
not just turn on autofetching and then Mail will fetch the next time the
time is tripped?
If you set the fetch interval to one minute, Mail will fetch 60 seconds
later.
