Re: Every retrieval a duplicate

My guess is that the duplicates are due to you telling getmail to retrieve
from both GMail's Inbox and All Mail.  All Mail contains all your messages,
Inbox is a virtual folder that contains only unread messages.  Once a
message is read it is removed from Inbox, but stays in All Mail.  Depending
on what you're trying to accomplish, I would suggest one or the other but
not both Inbox and All Mail.
