Under POP3 protocol, a server does not actually delete the messages requested to
be deleted until the client issues a quit command.  That is to prevent loss of
data when a download is interrupted.  Thus if the program bombs after 
downloading 29 of 30 messages, all 30 messages will still be there.  That is not
to say all POP3 servers are fully POP3-compliant.
