Known bug, it happens rarely vbut does happen: https://bt.ritlabs.com/view.php?id=1779 > (I have stopped the process before it downloads more than a few > dozen, each time I try.) This just started happening today. Last > night the download process was working properly. Go to: Account / Dispatch Message on Server / All Messages Wait for the mail dispatcher to show the list of headers, it can take a few minutes. Then hit ctrl-2 to toggle the tickmark off the Received column for all messages, and then hit enter. Alternatively, you can let TB re-download all emails and then use Folder / Delete Duplicates.

Well spotted. but this is not the problem, it is the solution. See above. -- Cheers, Thomas. Message reply created with The Bat!
