years of old messages downloading to client with update revision 52.0. pop, non-gmail
version 52 updated on reboot this morning, now all messages sitting on server are downloading again. TEST YOUR UPDATES BEFORE RELEASE!
The results are: Creating duplicates of everything on my client, resending responses to years old emails via filter rules flood of outgoing email will have my webhost shut down my email for flooding potential blacklisting for spam
I have 100s of thousands of messages saved on the domain server, I have not changed any files in my system nor on my domain. FIX THE FLAGGING & MAKE IT STOP

Is this a pop account? Using gmail?
Pop, Never... ever... gmail.
the floodgates have slowed/stopped Emails are a random allotment of messages over the course of 5 years from a variety of sources. Excess of 20000 have come across so far.
Since they are pop the filters are sorting them (extensive folder tree encompassing businesses, hobbies, personal, and childs activities)
No apparent rhyme or reason
Not possible to know what happened in your case, but not a great idea to keep thousands of emails in a pop Inbox. Pop servers are not intended for long term storage, and the emails will redownload if your local popstate.dat file gets corrupted - not uncommon.
