FETCHMAIL not recognizing "mark as seen" flag, causes duplicate messages

[Wes Thompson <we...@miaporta.com>]

Hello, I am setting up fetchmail to fetch messages from my ISP mail server (mail.comcast.net).  

Where I am at:
    - James/fetchmail configured so that it is downloading the messages 
    - Can access the messages through James.  
    - The messages are going to the correct mailbox.
    - Looked at the log -- no problems, 
    - The log notes that the fetchmail config file isn't extracted b/c the file already exists (i assume this is normal)

My problem:
I am receiving duplicate emails.  I have set markseen="true" in the config file but it seems that fetchmail still downloads all of the messages instead of just the new messages.  Obviously, I could set leaveonserver="false" to correct this but I would rather not.  Any suggestions?  My config file for fetchmail and my log output are shown below.
