Although you can leave mails on a server with POP3, and just read newer ones, it's not designed for that usage pattern. It can be very painful, and fail spectacularly. There's nothing stopping a server renumbering your messages, then there's no correlation between what you've already got and not yet seen. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.53.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jan 14 13:59:45 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
