Quote:Using Unique Identifier (UIDL) The mail server assigns an unique identifier for every email in the same account. You can get the UIDL for every email by MailInfo.UIDL property. To avoid to receive the same email twice, the best way is storing the UIDL of email retrieved to a text file or database. Next time before you retrieve the email, compare your local uidl list with remote uidl. If this uidl exists in your local uidl list, then you don't receive it, otherwise you should receive it.
