imap & fetchflag set "\\Seen", prevent duplicates

[Surendra Singhi]

Hello,
  I am using an imap server, and in my init file I have the fetchflag set to
"\\Seen", so every time when I start gnus, the gnus fetches email from my imap
server and this results in duplicates being created for all the emails. What
should I do to stop gnus from retrieving duplicate emails? Also, I want to have
the seen flag on so that in case if I use the web to access my email and mark
it as read then also I want it to be downloaded.

Is there any way I can force gnus to delete some emails from my web server(such
as junk) but allow the other emails to remain.

Thanks a lot.
I appreciate your helping me.

Because of the above reason, I don't log on to my email server with 
gnus, and when it prompts me for the password I kill it using C-g.

But because of this when I try to access other newsgroups(which have 
nothing to do with my email server) I get the following error:

Can anyone help me with this bug/problem?

Thanks in advance.
