OK, had a spare POP3 account and remembered the password (gmx.net)...

I could verify that: Received new mails, deleted them, received again --
and got the same messages a second time.

Tested it some more times and I could reproduce it *sometimes* during a
couple of tests.

During the test, I have checked the POP3 account via the web frontend.
It seems like the mails were *not* marked as read (downloaded) instantly
on the POP3 server, thus I got them a second time.

Marking downloaded messages as read seems to take some seconds (verified
that with web frontend). So it seems to be a POP3 *server* flaw to me...


I never could reproduce getting the same messages over and over again.

Does that make sense?
