Even if you read the same box with the bat multiple times, it KNOWS
mail has already been read. Ie doesnt download it twice if left on
server.
I am having to track several mailboxes for customers which arent
around to read their own mail so I leave on the server, but I only get
the NEW mail, not the stuff already read so to me either the bat needs
an option to read ANY mail in the mailbox, even if already read
before, or you need to change tag to unread (no idea how to do that)
or your firest reading program shouldnt tag files as read.
However if using telnet to go in for mailreading why donot you just
grab the whole mailbox and take it to the PC to read??
I mean you likely can import the mailbox in an email program on your
system and then the server shouldnt know what you have done.

under folders, kill dupes in all folders, works great be be aware it
keeps the most recent one of a dupe and any read and deleted mails
will obviously not be detected as a dupe.
