[Dovecot] pop3_lock_session question

[Alan Ferrency]

Thanks.

More questions about the first patch:

Is it necessary to apply this patch in 1.1, if we are using
"pop3_no_flag_updates = yes"?  (And, is it compatible with
pop3_no_flag_updates in 1.2?)

Updating messages as "seen" was confusing to users who accessed their
mail with both POP and IMAP, so we turned it off.

Thanks,
