Re: pop3 config question to avoid duplicate messages

[Laran Evans <lc278@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, the wierd thing is that I was using fetchmail. I have fetchmail -> 
procmail -> mutt. I have a hunch that after sorting the messages into 
mailboxes fetchmail didn't recognize that the messages had been 
downloaded. Is there any validity to that?
