A hypothetical explanation for both problems would be that Evo and the
mail server don't agree on what messages are new:

1) Evo won't download new messages after the first time, because it
thinks there's nothing new on the server, *or* because the server isn't
telling it.

2) When it does download messages, it includes old ones because it has
somehow forgotten it has already seen them, *or* because the server
isn't indicating correctly that they are old.

Does the server work correctly with a different client, e.g.
Thunderbird?
