But instead of execing pop3 do something like:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3
echo "update logged_out..." | mysql

Of course that means that there are now extra shell processes waiting
for users to log out.

As for deleting mails, there's currently no simple way to do it. You
could pretty easily modify mail-log plugin though. Some day in future
there will be some more generic "event plugin".
