That the message have been read (RETR executed on it). The "seen flag" is taken from 'retr' documentation at http://docs.python.org/lib/pop3-objects.html.

You're right. I'm trying to delete only read messages from Exchange server, *another* client is used for reading. (It's a long story involving me and IT here ...)
