kmail rules, database, and filters gone haywire

[Claude Jones]

  I also let the recent kdepim update through and it has caused a lot of 
problems, some of which I don't see addressed in the various posts and 
replies here. The two biggest issues are these:

Kmail keeps detecting mail on my ISP pop servers as new mail and 
re-downloading it so I end up with up to four copies of each message - 
then, it seems to figure something out and stops after 4 (I retrieve 
mail from multiple computers and only one is set to actually delete mail 
from the mail server and then only after 7 days - this allows various 
machines I work from to retrieve messages, even if one is turned off for 
a few days - this has worked well for years for me, but this is why it's 
also able to retrieve the same message multiple times)

My Kmail filters work, but not consistently - usually upon downloading a 
batch of messages for the second time, it leaves everything in the inbox 
(if I highlight them all and use Ctl+j it applies the filters and the 
messages all get sorted in to their respective folders)

I did revert Kdepim to ver kdepim-4.4.6-2.fc13.x86_64
Is this right, and should akonadi and kdepimlibs be at ver 
akonadi-1.4.0-0.2.fc13.x86_64 and
kdepimlibs-akonadi-4.5.1-0.1.fc13.x86_64 ?

I've some issues in the past, usually with new installs, where the 
database of downloaded messages would seem to get confused and Kmail 
would start downloading messages over and over, but this would generally 
clear up after a few days. Can anyone suggest a way to fix this?
