RH 8.0
fetchmail-5.9.0-21.8.0 (rpm)

.fetchmailrc (run manually):
set invisible
set postmaster myusername
set syslog

poll 10.x.x.x (an Exchange server)
      user myusername
      dropstatus
      mimedecode
      password 'mypassword'

When the system runs low on storage space, I get errors like
this in the logs:

In both cases, Fetchmail deleted the message from the server,
so I did not have a chance to retrieve it later.

Can someone explain what I need to do to prevent this?

Thank you for your help.
