Keep a copy of the UID's you have downloaded locally, compare against the UID's on the server and only do a GETALL on the ones you haven't seen before and then store those UID's too. This process will get progressively slower as more and more e-mails are left on the server though. CFX_POP3 has a GETUIDLIST function which just retrieves the UID's of the mails on the server and makes the process lightening fast but it only works on 32-bit CF installations on Windows so it's life is limited now.
