I am in the process of moving mail over from one server to another. We
have some users who, with our permission, leave their mail (picked up
via POP3) on our server. When I moved our mail server a few years ago,
these people's mail programs believed that all the mail they were seeing
on the server was unread mail, and downloaded it all again.

Can anyone suggest a way to prevent this from happening again? I am
guessing it has something to do with the way the POP3 server identifies
itself to the client, but I am not familiar enough with POP3 to say for
sure.
