You can use the "limit" option for fetchmail, during daytime, and run fetchmail without any limits at night time. If I recall it correctly, the command line option is -l (that is a small-case L). So, you need to run fetchmail during daytime as in: % fetchmail -l 200000 which will fetch only mail smaller in size than 200 K, and then at night time run fetchmail without any options to download any remaining messages.
