(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.3.2 (using KDE 2.2.2 -2)
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Red Hat Linux 7.2
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.7-10
OS/Compiler notes: 

Multiple copies of the same message
are downloaded in some circumstances. I
believe this occurs when the "to" field has
multiple recipients e.g
To: recipient_1 recipient_2 recipient_3

If there are multiple copies on the server KMail obviously also downloads=
=20
them all.

Or are you talking about leaving all mail on the server and you get them al=
l=20
again every time?

This workaround uses a command that has been removed from the POP3 standard=
 in=20
1996 because it's unreliable and causes mail eating when the connection=20
breaks while downloading. Therefore I'm strongly against also implementing=

this.
