I will try to explain how I understand this "feature (bug)"

I fetch mails from a remote mail-server -> remote mailbox.

I will have all mails in my Horde webmail, so I configure to fetch my  
POP3 or IMAP accounts.
But if you woun't delete the mails from the remote-server, you will  
have a great feature in Horde, that will "remember" which mails you  
already have in your webmail. But this feature will only work with an  
IMAP-remote-server.
So you select the option "get only new messages (IMAP only)" and when  
you fetch the mails, Horde will check if a mail already exists in your  
Horde-account and if it isn't so the mail will be imported to your  
Horde-account.

Thats how I understand this option.
Otherwise this option will make no sence. If I'm wrong, please explain  
me your opinion what it will do.

Tanks a lot!!
