IMAP is not an option - my mail server is POP only.

I will try a fresh install in the morning when I am feeling a little less 
frustrated.  I will remove all existing accounts and mail files and start from 
scratch to see what happens but I am not hopeful.  The duplicate mail downloads 
have started again so I have to remove some 500 duplicates every time I start 
Evo.  This is very bad really.
