hi,

as i just reported this to the kubuntu bug tracking system
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576883), i experience about the same thing in
KDE 4.4.2:

i've configured kmail (1.13.2, package 4.4.2-0ubuntu5) to leave mail on the
POP3 server for a few days and check every minute. this has worked ever since
for me. but since the upgrade, kmail fetches mails over and over again from the
server.

the strange thing is: it does end eventually. not all mails are fetched
repeatingly, but the number decreases with every check. this morning i just
started kmail and watched: 14 original new mails were on the server (not
counting spam which is already filtered out by crm114 at this point, but it
affects spam as well, of course). after they were fetched, kmail got 13 of them
a second time, 11 a third time, 9 a fourth ... when it was down to 5 (old) new
mails, no more duplicates were downloaded. from this point on, kmail runs for
hours without any issues.

this is how kmail behaves after every new start here.
