You may only be downloading 2 weeks worth in SeaMonkey; I looked directly 
at the server, and in Pan, I just downloaded messages from early December 
as well as the earliest message dated Nov 21 2007:

(posting just the header, but the message body includes the text:

Hi,
in our country, we have a government-operated official website which
publishes opportunities in public tender.

)

That your reader isn't pulling messages from > 2 weeks ago doesn't mean 
that those messages do not exist on the server.

I hope *that* clears it up once and for all.  10 weeks worth of messages 
exist on the server.  *Not* 2.
