RE: [Evolution] is this possible???

["Jamie Rubinstein" <jamier aproposretail com>]

I have selected 'leave messages on server', but it still downloads
previously downloaded messages, resulting in many many duplicates of
messages.  For instance, say, I have 300 messages in
/var/spool/mail/username, and I download them to Evolution.  If I tell
Evolution to download mail, say, half an hour later, it downloads all the
messages again, resulting in 600 messages, everything duplicated in the
inbox.  If I click on send/receive again, I now have 900 messages, etc, etc.
How can I tell Evolution to only download new mail???
Evolution works great, and never crashes.  But, it makes it hard to keep
track of email when I keep getting the same old mail added to the inbox
every time it downloads mail.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
