Hi there, 
this is my first bugreport, so I hope to do it all the correct way:

If TB is running and the hard disk (where TB keeps the mails) is becoming full (for ex. because of p2p-programs), TB gets all old messages again, if there is an error in TB because of insufficient disk-space. Once deleted some files, TB will download all (old) messages left on the mailserver. Even those you already have. That´s all. I havent found this bug anywhere else (neither forum nor bug-db), so I think it shouldn´t be in here yet. If it is already a known bug and a easy/good workaround, it would be great if you could inform me about it.

Greetings and thanks for spending your time for us,
Paul

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start TB
2. Fill up your hd till there is no free bit (e.g. with emule or any other p2p)
3. recieve mails and wait for the error-msg of TB, that there is no more space.
4. Delete some files from the hd
5. Recieve mails again...argh
Actual Results:  
all (in my case 7000 mails) are downloaded again...

Expected Results:  
only really new mails should be downloaded

Pop3 or Imap ?
And if pop3 do you setup TB to leave the messages on the server ?
