Not really (except you will have to start and stop fetchmail each time,
but the costs are negligible of course) ; I just feel 2 is less logical
and doesn't follow totally the Unix philosophy...
This might be a personal opinion, but if a tool as a feature which
works, why use another tool to do the same thing? I think many Unix
authors would agree with this principe.
Btw, my original answer did not mean you MUST NOT do 2, I mainly wanted
to point out that 1 exists, which obvisouly the OP did not know.
