Creates a copy (.pop); empties original in the process (0 bytes); performs
necessary work on the .pop version; then copies resulting data back to
original spool file and deletes the lockfile.

As mentioned above, the POP process clears the original mail spool.
Therefore deleting the .pop copy will result in deleting all that user's
email, no?
