Does the same apply to situation where mail is left on server (for 1
day in my case). I've always left my mail on server for one day, but
increasingly I've got duplicated mail recently.
I know it could be due to connection problem, since my Internet
connection has been less than ideal. Yet in the case where mail is
left on the server, TB shouldn't download a message simply because
it's still on the server. IOW, someone (TB or the server?) should
remember which message has been downloaded and skip it next time.
I've always thought it's TB's job, for I could set up a new clone
account and re-retrieve all the mail left on the server, meaning the
server doesn't know which has been downloaded, right? Where does the
difficulty lies, then, for TB to remember which has been downloaded,
when a connection is broken, except maybe the last one?
It's not terribly serious, for the kill dupes in all folder command
works wonder in TB. But I'm getting more and more complaints from my
wife, so I guess it's time to ask.
