Look at the ISP log (Logs > Mailboxes > username) and it should tell 
you what it did with each message, and why. Did it actually process 
the headers first time and decide to defer them, or did it just not 
process them at all? What you mean by "but after that" - do you mean 
at subsequent fetches? Are you saying it runs OK when it is launched 
but not thereafter? What's the "RunEvery" period? Is "OnlyIf" set?

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
