At this point in time, I don't even know where my mail messages are  
kept. If Evo is anything like Thunderbird, you'll have a folder with  
all your messages in it. There might also be a file that contains  
pointers or other record keeping on each folder. What I do in  
Thunderbird is to delete that record keeping folder and concatenate an  
old mail folder with a new one and restart Thunderbird.

If Evo doesn't have information about that mail that is on the ISP  
stored in a record keeping file somewhere, it will think it is new  
mail and read it again.

Don't really know how Evo mail is stored, so this is only a guess.

Since you were able to rsync your Evo mail, maybe you can tell me  
where you found it?
