I just came across this problem today, and it's a rather big one for me. I checked my mail by telnetting in and using mutt because I was not at home. I had a lot of TBUDL and other list mail; once I got home, I fired up The Bat! Some list messages came through fine and filtered, but only the ones that were received AFTER I had viewed some of them online. The ones I had quickly read were marked as read by the mail client (mutt, or whatever, pine, elm, many things probably do the same). Hence TB didn't download them. I had to go into the dispatcher and manually select them, but obviously I only selected a basic range, and ended up with a lot of duplicate messages (the ones I downloaded ok when I got home, I re-downloaded with dispatcher to be sure I didn't miss any) This is terrible.... are there any solutions? I can think of some kludges: 1) If I ever access my mail from somewhere else, I have to be sure to set it to be "unread". Not sure if I can actually do this, I think you can in Outlook Express but maybe it's not really an IMAP-acceptable version of "unread." I don't know how to do in in console programs, maybe I should look into it. 2) Is there some way to "remove duplicate messages in this folder" ? I think I came across one once but forgot to make note, and now I can't find/remember it.
