I should also mention that I am job hunting and some of these messages were from head-hunters that I did not read for over a week because they didn't download.

You should always default to being conservative. It's always safer to get a duplicate e-mail than to lose a potential job opportunity.

I WOULD STOP USING EVOLUTION IF IT EVER STARTED AUTOMATICALLY DELETING MESSAGES. I even check the Junk directory before deleting spam -- just to be sure. Duplicate e-mails are a pain, but lost e-mails are worse.
