As per the tcpdumps ( http://www.idimmu.net/evolution/ ), there are not multiple copies in the mailbox, the server supports the UIDL extension and doesn't change the message UID each session. Evo only downloads the entire inbox again if a new email arrives changing the *order* of the UIDLs, this is with Evo 2.6.1. It's weird.
