> Think of it as a lock condition. You get all the emails from your server.

So in this scenario, where do ALL the mails get deleted??
There are 3 mails in your mail box to start with..
<cflock name="MyPOPSession" .... >
<cfpop action="getmail" ... > <-- Retrieves 3 mails
...
Some processing occurs...
...
Meanwhile, 3 more mails arrive in your mailbox and your POP server
numbers them 4,5 and 6 respectively because at the moment, 1,2 and 3
are still in your mail box...
...
<cfpop action="delete" messagenumber="1,2,3" ... > <-- Deletes the
first three mails leaving the other three behind...
</cflock>
I guess that the key here is that you don't empty your mailbox, you only
delete the mails that you process.... Seems straightforward enough to me...
