Intermittent, unexpected refetching of POP3 messages, when "leave mail on
server" is checked.

Only once has it done it after an explicit action, and that was after I was
looking at the prefs for the account.

I've had this occur after I went into the POP3 mailbox with mutt and removed a
mail through that. I also noticed that even though I specified to only leave
mail for 7 days, there are messages much older than that on my POP3 server.

This has been happening to me quite often, i leave my messages on server for 14
days, and in that time i recieve 200+ emails, its a real waste of time to wade
through and delete duplicates.
Think i have clued on to a possible cause. I use Azureus (Bit-torrent client)
which really chews up my 56 modem connection. It seems whenever i run that,
thunderbird has this problem. i'm assuming FF connects to the server, then
dropps out before its finished checking for messages, and desides theres nothing
on the server. next time it checks, it thinks all the messages are new. It
doesn't do this when i disconnect my modem (cant connect to server at all), so i
think its the fact it connects, but dropps out.
not 100% reproducable, but i see a definite pattern.

I have a number of accounts, it only seems to do it with one, have no
explanation for that, except for murphys law. this account is my most used, and
this problem causes the most damage by happening to this account ;)
