I don't really know - just that I've heard of some other email formats that  
are strange to me.

None of the emails from that era are (i.e., when my filters were actually  
working). Iow, no trashcans on the emails in the folders that the filters  
moved mails to.

Also, I can use 'remove duplicates' and the extras disappear.

I don't have a clue. Unless it has something to do with my mailbox being set  
up for the web gui. I believe that I had to config something on the server  
(with the web gui). Before I began using balsa, I called my isp and explained  
the situation. I asked if I needed to change anything - the answer was 'no'.

As in another email proggie of some sort - not a chance (nothing else is  
running).

Ah, yes - balsa 2.3.12
