There is no need for fetchmail to rely on POP3 flags anyway. If one is
really interested in maintaining server flags, one should be using
IMAP which gives proper control over the flags. As Matthias Andree has
been proposing, fetchmail should use UIDL by default with POP3.

Most users don't have the choice of IMAP or POP3 -- they have to deal
with the server someone else provided.

If we use POP3, we should use the flags it provides.  And Eric has
given his arguments against UIDL long ago; UIDL is a single-client
solution.
