Re: [Evolution] POP mail: read messages not retrieved

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj ximian com>]

The POP checking code never changed to not download read messages, in
fact this concept doesn't even exist in the POP protocol.

Evolution still does the same thing as it always has, it will only
download messages that it has not yet downloaded before.

My best guess is that your other client is deleting the messages off the
server.
