Perl scripts are all well and good but I thinh the original poster was asking why there isn't a way inside Evolution to do this. Mutt can do it. If you use Evo over dialup or other unreliable connection then multiple downloading from the POP server is a real problem, often if Evo is interrupted or hangs diring download and has to be killed it will just download all the messages again.
