They are using Outlook or Pegasus Mail. Maybe others are having the
problem too but I only heard of those. I know of two users, who use the
so called "leave messages on server" feature and I think it only happens
if the client is set up that way.
Good! I didn't have a chance to ask about this yet.
We're seeing this too, as we begin to put pop users on our new Cyrus
system. Of course it only *can* happen when they leave on server.
Could this be a database issue, where cyrus cannot recognize that the
client already downloaded the messages?
The client keeps track of what it has downloaded, so it's more like
the other way around.
As far as I know the only way to do this is that the client asks the
server for all the uids of all the messages, and compares them to the
client's own list of what's been downloaded. If there's anything new
to the client, it downloads those.
I would guess one of Cyrus or Outlook is doing something not quite
standards-compliant with uids. But can the other one work around it?

Hi Joseph,
I have searched the archive and found another thread. It describes the
same problem. But no real solution ... ok one could say "don't use
broken mail clients" but, that is unrealistic. I cannot enjoin my users
from using Outlook/OE.

Any other hints ?
Timo
