Good news: yes, that is the problem.

Bad news: the imap server and the pop server are not synced. I started getting all my emails since 2007-12-28, so I had to kill fetchmail, which must be thousands. I'll have to return to imap :-(
I believe that they mark differently
Has to be.
And on 2007-12-28 I got my first bad mail from them, so it seems I switched to imap on that date.
I wonder if they know? Reporting problems to gmail is not that easy, I think.
Yes, I had more difficulty determining the problem than dealing with novell's bugzilla, which is much easier now :^)
Yep. I'll have a look at gmail reporting, one day I'm bored.
Curious! If I had kept a diary of what I changed when, I could have discovered that the culprit was imap myself. But I'm not that meticulous. Or fastidious, I think is the English word.
I believe either would be applicable in this instance, or at least in the same ballpark. I'm going to confuse the issue with coloquialisms here :^)
for what it's worth, I keep a local database of the last three months message traffic and one of the message ids. I use procmail to check against each message id for dups and segregate matches. In the last three years I have never had a false positive. So, when I switched back to pop, I dl'ed a lot of mail, but didn't have to sort thru the dups.
Yes, I do keep both logs for a long time; but I had bad luck with duplicate testing so I don't do it (I can get the same message-id on two mail accounts, and I want both copies). In this case, I would be downloading mails for a long time. I can do it, but first I have to prepare a rule to move them somewhere else till the box empties. Or perhaps I can find or do a hack to correct the from header (first I'll have to get a raw copy of one).
If you are using fetchmail to gmail, it will only retrieve *new* mail unless you configure it otherwise. It will only see mail in the http *inbox*. Make sure that you have moved anything you don't want to retrieve from the *inbox* to "all mail".
Well, the http inbox is empty. The pop3 handler was feeding me all seen email since last December. They must keep one index for pop retrieval, another for imap; and when you fetch email, their http index get updated and emptied, too. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
