Get only: Unread messages - Doesn't work!

[jtown]

What's the deal with VersaMail? I have the treo set to only get unread messages yet, if I delete a message and empty the trash, it'll grab it from the server again as if it had never been downloaded. Doesn't matter if I use POP or IMAP. The result is the same. Am I doing somehting wrong or did palm mess up?

I'm running Versamail 3.0c which is what was bundled with the phone.

All of my desktop clients have no trouble grabbing only new messages from the server. I have 3 clients on 2 platforms that I use regularly for testing and all of those can manage to keep track of the last message downloaded and only download messages that have arrived since their last session.

I've got a workaround where I set the treo to only get messages from the last day and to automatically remove items from the trash after one day but that's not a great solution. I have about a dozen people using these things and they need to be able to have software that does what it's told to do. :P
