Hmm. That's probably what I experience.
I want to sync the mailbox more often than that.
I guess the obvious hack is to disconnect and reconnect again, but
I wonder if can come up with something else.... perhaps I'll hack the server,
and maybe it is just time for IMAP :-)
FWIW, there's an option to qpopper that will treat an abort like a clean
QUIT, for just these situations. I'm not sure about other pop servers.
