[NTLUG:Discuss] Mail Server Resends Messages

[Stuart Johnston]

I generally use Mozilla Mail and the UW Mail server for my email so I'm 
not sure if this is a problem with the client or the server.  Although, 
I suspect the server.

Every now and then (generally months apart) Mozilla will redownload all 
of the messages from the server.  For users with POP set to keep 
messages on the server this results in duplicates of all messages in 
their inbox.  For IMAP users (ie, the smart ones ;) Mozilla simply 
redownloads the headers and everything goes back to normal.

Has anyone else seen this happen or know how to fix it?

Thanks,
Stuart Johnston
