Using '--enable-server-mode' makes it the default for all
executions of Qpopper. Using '-s' on the command line makes it the
default for that execution. So either works; using both won't hurt.
In server mode the .user.pop file is always created, as it serves
the additional purpose of a mutual-exclusion lock on multiple
simultaneous sessions for the same user. The spool is not copied
to it unless the spool is 'dirty' at the session end. If all
messages are deleted, the spool i snot 'dirty'. If all messages
are left on the server and none of them were new to this session or
downloaded for the first time in this session, the spool is also
not 'dirty'. (This can be overridden by the
'update-status-headers' option in a configuration file -- see the
Administrator's Guide for more information.)
For more information on Server Mode, see the Administrator's Guide.
