Summary: won't classify all new mail from a pop server that has old m

Initial Comment:
I am running: 
 
spambayes-1.0a5 (getting mail from two different pop 
servers) 
RedHat 9 
Kmail 
 
After properly shutting down SpamBayes, Kmail and then my 
machine, the next morning SpamBayes does not classify the 
first few e-mails from one of the 3 pop servers that I use. 
 
After, much investigation, I discovered that Kmail places 
several files in  
"/home/myusername/.kde/share/apps/kmail" (myusername 
is a munge of the actual  user name).   These files are called 
(after SpamBayes installation) 
mungeduser at localhost:port#_that_email_client_points_to, 
there is one of these files for each pop server or in the case 
of one of the pop servers that I have two accounts on there 
are two of these files each pointing to the same server and 
port but with a different user name, reflecting my user 
names on the pop server. 
 
The purpose of these files is to keep track of what you want 
to download later and what is to be kept on the server.  This 
is reflected by two commands:  
downloadLater= 
seenUidList= 
 
In my case there are perhaps 80 e-mails that I have chosen 
to keep on one of the servers, so after seenUidList= there 
are a series of numbers separated by commas.  I don't 
think that it is a coincidence that this is the server from  
which e-mails are not being classified all of the time.  (the 
problem occurs only the first one or two times that I get my 
e-mail after starting SpamBayes and kmail in the morning. 
 
As an experiment I moved these files to another directory 
and recreated them, leaving the command in Kmail to leave 
the e-mail on the server.  By recreating the files I had 
emptied them so that Kmail was not aware of what  
was on the server.   
 
I did this twice, the first time Kmail/SpamBayes proceeded 
to download the mail from the server but hung after the first 
few e-mails were downloaded.   
 
The messages that appeared in the terminal were:

I stopped both SpamBayes and Kmail. 
 
I Restarted SpamBayes and Kmail and tried the experiment 
again.  It hung again  
but this time I decided to let it go, after a few minutes it 
continued to  
download the emails but did not add any classifications to 
the rest of the  
e-mails.  (It did add classifications to the first few e-mails.)

After this last experiment, I left Kmail and SpamBayes 
running and all e-mails that arrived subsequent to the 
experiment were classified. 
 
While I might be willing to remove the mail from the server 
in order to derive the benefits of SpamBayes, I would really 
rather not. 
 
I think that SpamBayes ought to be capable of dealing with 
mail left on a pop server.  For folks like me who retrieve 
their mail using more than one machine this is essential.  
When I am on the road I want to read my mail, but  
when I get back home I want to be able to download that 
same mail to my home machine.
