I know this.

qmail-pop3d doesn't modify the contents of the messages it serves in any
way. Most people consider this to be a Very Good Thing (tm). And as
others have noted, the Maildir spec allows for the keeping of message
meta-information in the filename of the message, rather than munging its
contents -- munging means parsing, and parsing is evil.

I think you're screwed, then. You want your POP3 daemon to
transparently know (and inform the POP3 client) that another process,
totally unrelated to POP3, has gone into the Maildir and read some
files. See the problem?
