Do you have "Dupe check mails over all accounts?" turned on? (or, "Don't
download dupes" in the Account Editor?)
If so, that is the reason for the difference in the number of messages CSCMail
reports (it just uses the POP3 STAT command to see how many messages are on the
server) and the actual number of messages downloaded. CSCMail does it's dupe
checking "on the fly" so as it is about to download each message, it checks the
header info for a non-unique msgid. If it sees that the msgid matches a msg
already in your database, it skips it... That message still gets "counted"
though.. It just doesn't get downloaded...
