getmail - read_all problem [MISTAKE]

Hi. I am trying to setup getmail/maildrop/ssmtp/mutt according to scottro's guide
http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/mutt.html
I want to fetch only mails I didn't receive already but keep all at the server, so I wrote my getmailrc as

[otions]
verbose = 0
read_all = false

[retriever]
type = SimplePOP3Retriever
server = server
username = user
password = pw

[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/bin/maildrop
# necessary for both procmail and maildrop
unixfrom = True

As far as I know, this should work according to the getmail doc, however the cron job retrieves for good.

EDIT: strange, getmail -v --dump shows

  options:
    delete : False
    delete_after : 0
    delivered_to : True
    logfile : None
    max_bytes_per_session : 0
    max_message_size : 0
    max_messages_per_session : 0
    message_log : None
    message_log_syslog : False
    read_all : True
    received : True
    verbose : 1

but the right server/username configuration? must be missing something

need help, thanks
