I should also mention that I am job hunting and some of these messages
were from head-hunters that I did not read for over a week because they
didn't download.
You should always default to being conservative. It's always safer to
get a duplicate e-mail than to lose a potential job opportunity.
I WOULD STOP USING EVOLUTION IF IT EVER STARTED AUTOMATICALLY DELETING
MESSAGES. I even check the Junk directory before deleting spam -- just
to be sure. Duplicate e-mails are a pain, but lost e-mails are worse.
