Well, maybe this is simply because many other servers ignore the 
problem? UW, Courier and qmail-pop3d at least do. Then again Cyrus, 
popa3d and qpopper give error message. Anyone wish to try to reproduce 
the problem with them?

Anyway the simplest fix for Dovecot is to make it also ignore the 
error. src/pop3/commands.c line 47 comment out the if (client->deleted) 
{ ... } block. Although that ignores a bit too many errors.. If the bug 
can be reproduced with other servers I'll make up some workaround 
option which ignores it only with DELE.
