Re: Zoe forgetting what email's i've already read/downloaded...

Ok, quick but info: I've faced this before, and for everything to work
correctly, you need to configure your email client to REMOVE email
from the server. Don't worry, this won't remove the email from your
ZOE archive -- just tell ZOE to mark that message as fetched.

The problem is that Mozilla will still download the same 20 (or whatever you set fetch.limit to) messages every time it does a 'get'.   This can quickly become untennable when you set Mozilla to 'get' mail every five minutes or something like that because you end up with hundreds of duplicate copies of the same 20 messages by the end of the day!
