This has nothing to do with the POP server. Various POP clients use 
various methods to keep track of the messages left on the server, so 
they can avoid downloading them again, where they will appear as 
duplicates. When pointed to another POP server, this information is no 
longer valid. The old messages look like new ones, and the POP client 
downloads them. This will happen even if you migrate to a new server 
running the exact same version of the POP server you've been using. 
Fortunately, it will only happen once, and you'll get the same behaviour 
you had before.
