Yes, the bug report was for that part of the problem itself. I have new-only 
defined in my settings, but still it downloaded the same emails again..

here's my settings:
account "company-pop3" disabled pop3
        server "company.hostname.com"
        user "rrs"
        pass "password"
    new-only cache "${base}/company-cache"
    keep

"keep" was the only new keyword I added today. Otherwise everything was there 
before. But still it re-downloaded messages. I am going to test it again 
tomorrow to confirm the behavior.

BTW, does the cache expire ever ?
