Does anyone know of a POP server that exhibits this behaviour OOTB? I
know Qpopper does not, nor does (obviously) qmail-pop3d. I don't recall
ever having this work transparently, with any combination of clients or
servers (and I've run quite a few combinations of both in my time...)
Anytime, anywhere, multiple clients accessing the same mailbox seem to
treat a message read by the other client as new and unread.
