This is the BrailleNote's duplicate detection algorithm. The first number
you heard is the actual number of emails residing on your POP3 service;
the latter, the number of new messages actually available for reading. A
new message is one which has no Message Identification ("Message-ID"
field) equal to that of any other message stored on your BrailleNote, i.e.
one that has never been "Seen" (downloaded) before. In most instances,
this just means that someone has sent you two copies of the same message
(i.e. one to a mailing list and one personally). However, Message-ID is
both optional and not necessarily guaranteed to be unique when present
(see RFC 2822) so this scheme works purely based on mailer cooperation.
Duplicates sent by BrailleNotes won't be detected.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
