Description Phil 2004-10-11 21:35:14 UTC 
Version:           1.7 (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.3 
OS:                Linux

I've configured Kontact(kmail) to fetch my mails on my ISP's POP3 server, but by "leaving fetched messages on server".

Mail check interval is configured at 1 minute.

After being connected for a while ( eg 2 hours) Kmail suddenly retrieves formerly received mails that was still left on POP3 server !

So I get fed up with two coppies of the same mails.

Strangely this fenomenon doesn't happen every day ( even when connected for over 5 hours and regularly getting new mail)

rgrds,
Phil

FYI, you can use Folder -> Remove Duplicate Messages to get rid of the duplicates. Of course, this is no real solution, but in case you don't know...
Comment 2 Phil 2004-10-11 23:03:29 UTC 
Thx, at this moment I do a Search for all UNREAD mail and delete them ....
Comment 3 Ingo Klöcker 2004-10-21 00:44:51 UTC 
Can you please try whether using a longer interval (e.g. 3 minutes) helps?

Comment 5 Phil 2004-10-28 22:34:04 UTC 
about 3 weeks ago I upgrade to KDE 3.3.1 and until today I haven't had any problems anymore.
So, for the last 3 weeks Kmail has practically been checking every minute a pop3 account for new mail, and only now I suddenly got dubbel entries again ?

Anyway, I'll the interval ont 3 minutes now ...

rgrds,
Phil
Comment 6 Phil 2004-11-05 10:35:22 UTC 
So yesterday I got the same fenomenon ( with interval on 3 sec)
All my previously downloaded older mails, which still resided on the POP3 server, where suddenly fetched again ...

rgrds,
Phil

Sounds like a time syncing issue. Probably you had a ntp-daemon in the background which adjusted your clock by one minute - resulting in the duplicates.
