This is how POP will always work. Since the message is still on the
server, and the newton doesn't have it, it will get downloaded and show
as new again.
IMAP will download the message the message, but if the IMAP client used
before is fairly complete, the message will at least show as having been
already read.
Both of these will not download emails again that the client doesn't ask
for. This means the client must know that it has already gotten the
email, and typically that is the case only when the client still HAS the
email. I don't know that any mail clients keep records of mails
downloaded and disposed of.

85. I will not use any plan in which the final step is horribly complicated,
e.g. "Align the 12 Stones of Power on the sacred altar then activate the
medallion at the moment of total eclipse." Instead it will be more along
the lines of "Push the button." --Peter Anspach's Evil Overlord List
