As someone else already said, Thor can be configured to delete your mail from
the server so that you don't download it twice. The only times that I've
downloaded mail twice was when I lost my connection during the download. Then
Thor will get it again until it has downloaded all of your mail. I think even
this can be configured so that you don't have to go back and get that mail
again. In addition, if you think you've downloaded duplicates, there is a menu
option to delete them.
