another Evolution in SuSE 8.2 email problem

When downloading email, evolution does not remember that it hss downloaded the email before. That is if I down load the email, then download again, I get duplicate email and if I download again, it get it in triplicate. This is with 1.2.2, 1.2.4, or 1.4.0. On SuSE 8.0 or on laptop this works, so must be a file somewhere that is corrupt but I can't find it. Anyone know how to solve this problem? Art
