If it's POP, then that's because the server has changed the UID of the
messages and Evolution doesn't think it has seen the messages yet.

Those threads are from 2005-7, I think things have moved on since then.

No thanks.

That's very kind of you.

Read the FAQ and the on-line documentation - most of the issues in those
Ubuntu threads have been addressed there:

 
http://live.gnome.org/Evolution/FAQ#Why_do_I_get_an_error_.22Summary_and_folder_mismatch.2C_even_after_a_sync.22.3F
 

 
http://live.gnome.org/Evolution/FAQ#Why_does_Evolution_download_duplicate_emails.3F_How_can_I_get_rid_of_them.3F_Why_does_Evolution_reload_old_mails_from_server_when_.22Leave_a_message_on_the_pop_server.22_is_activated.3F

And yes, I know that's the old version of the FAQ, but the OP is talking
about an OLD version of Evo.  Even then the FAQ is largely for 2.30+,
for 2.28 you may have to seek out an even older one.
