17927 - [REGRESSION][DOGFOOD]Clicking Get Msg for POP account get all the messages off the server, should only get New msgs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 17925

(MailNews Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[esther]

Using 19991103 builds on win98, mac and linux for a POP account, when you do a
Get Msg you get all the messages from the server not just the new ones.  Repeat
and you get all messages again.  Every time you click Get Msg all messages
download. Results is several copies of the same message in your Inbox.

1. Launch Messenger
2. If you don't have a POP account create a new one.\
3. Select the POP account and click Get Msg, give your password and wait
4. Note the number of messages listed in the column Total in the folder pane
5. Click Get Msg again.  Notice it's downloading all the messages again

Result:  All the messages down load again and when you click on sort by Subject
you will see a second copy of all messages.  Clicking Get Msg again will result
in a 3rd copy of all messages.
Expected: when clicking Get Msg again the status should read "No new messages"
and no other message are downloaded (that is of course that no one sent a new
message)

Note: This was tested on a profile that has 1 IMAP, 1 POP and 2 news accounts.
IMAP was OK.

re-assign to phil, so he can assign this to the right owner, most likely mscott.
