I'm running Evolution under Mandrake 8.1, I've setup my POP accounts and selected to leave mail on the server as I need to also check from alternative locations. All seems to work fine, Evolution logs in and downloads mail and leaves it on the server. The problem is the next time I log in it downloads all the mail on the server even the ones it has already downloaded, so each time I check mail I get another copy of the emails I already have. Anyone use Evolution and have any ideas on this?

Actually this is not an Evolution problem I've tried a couple of other mail clients and they do the same thing. Still puzzled though as to how to fix it. -
hmm, could be a mail server problem...
also check mail clients options and make sure it marks downloaded msgs as 'read'<font size="1">Gigabyte GA-6VXC7-4X MoBo

Yep, use the "mark as read". However, POP wasn't really made for multi-site mail access. If your provider also supports IMAP, switch to that.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.

IMAP
FWIW, Evolution's IMAP support is really quite excellent in my experience.Tilable Desktop Backgrounds, perfect for DualHead: http://bg.rifetech.com/Comment

This used to happen in windows too in the old days. Recently I have noticed that OE doesn't redownload old mail like it used to.[size=1]D3/\/7YCR4CK3R
