The thing is, I don't want my MDA to even download duplicates. If I had 100 messages in my inbox (which I don't thankfully) it would be silly to download them all every time and then sort them out locally.
I would not have any real reservations about NOT keeping the messages on the server, except that I have a work and home machine and 4 email accounts. If I download email at work, I can't read it at home, and vice versa. This problem got me using IMAP, which I've been very happy with for a while. But now I've almost maxed out my space on the email server, so I have to find some way to get the messages off the server. This other issues probably merits a different thread, but if anyone has suggestions on a good configuration to accomplish my goal of synchronizing my email in multiple locations they'd be very welcome.
