I dont get it I'm afraid. If this is a problem in Apple mail, then it is yet another reason to use CE and keep using CE. If this is a problem in CE, then I recognize the phenomenon, and it is related to the setting "Keep messages on server for xxx days".
If you retrieve all mail, and keep no mail on the server, you will reset whatever pointers the mail server and mail client user to keep track on which mail te retrieve. That way, you should not have duplicate mail. If you keep mail on server, then sometimes, you get duplicate mail, specifically if you read the mailbox with 2 mail clients alternating. Please mind that some WEBMAIL interfaces by ISP's go and connect to your POP mailbox just like a mailclient, and compete with whatever pointers there are. Some WEBmail interfaces are set up in such a way that they do not affect the pointer mechanism used by other mail clients such as CE. If you get duplicate mail, I suggest you do a full retrieve of all messages by disabling the keep mail on server checkbox and retrieving/removing all mail from the server.
