For me, it seems like the dupe checking is on always, no matter if I
select to delete from the server or not. If I create two mails with
the same ID (telnet to port 25 .. ) and then download them, I always
get only the first of these (no matter of what the contents is, even
different subjects).
Then, if I want the second one, I will have to delete the first mail
before downloading the other (this is easy for a "test" mail, but
probably impossible when a real mail gets lost, since you have to know
which previously downloaded message is causing the problem.
If "delete from server" is on, both the mails are removed.
