MailListener doesn't timeout?

Hey there

so I've noticed that the mail listener does not time out appropriately in jboss as 6.  I see that it runs correctly on startup, processes the mail it just got, then just sits there.  I have polling interval set very low - like 3 seconds - but still it doesn't seem to refresh.  Any idea? I can't seem to find the source anywhere.

Here's another weird thing.  when I restart the app server, it looks like it reprocesses a lot of already processed mail.  Very bizarre.

I think I see part of what's happening.

Looking at the code here: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/trunk/connector/src/main/java/org/jboss/resource/adapter/mail/inflow/IMAPMailFolder.java

You'll see that the way it determines the messages to read is based on the number of unread, and grabs the last x of those to send off.  This isn't accurate though, since I can have (as is the case now) the entire mailbox littered with unread mails.
