        Hi,
right, I recall that all is related to [1]. Once the fetch failed,
evolution vanished list of received uids, thus the next time it thought
all known uids received from the server are new to it and asked POP
provider to get them. It may not receive them again from a server, as
the POP provider has its own cache of messages, thus they were got from
that cache, instead of downloaded. The bug [1] may fix this too, thus
the upcoming 3.0.3 of evolution is your version.
        Bye,
        Milan
