Nuno,

I now know at least 1/2 my problem.  Did a rm -rf imp and then
a cvs co imp and recopied only my config, all brand new, same problem.
Fetch works great but fetches all mail irregardless of the new mail
check box.  I tried with a pop-up, without a pop-up but I realized
that I had never tried with imap because of speed and load.  Duh!  
I switched to imap and it works perfectly except much slower and 
with more load as I had expected.  Duh!  Now I know what my first 
question should have been.  Does the "new mail only" feature work 
with pop3?  I had thought about that because I have vague recollections 
of Netscape mail loosing the pop3 index and repeating all your mails 
but that has been a looooong time ago and I could be hallucinating:-)

Bottom line, I can live with IMAP:-) but if pop3 does work for you,
I'm back to the drawing board and I'm sure next time I will check
both and save a lot of time.  Oh well, yesterday was a holiday and 
no sun so it could have been worse:-)

Thanks again, Nuno.
