Please could you elaborate a bit about "anything causes the filters to be applied a subsequent time"?

In fact the code does that : pop3 box is checked, the retrieved messages are put in a temp mailbox, then filters are applied on this temp mailbox and the remaining messages are put in the Inbox. So I don't see how it is possible to have duplicated messages since only the temp mailbox is actually filtered. That seems really weird to me!?!
