hi Timo

i did more debugging,
used telnet with pop3
the list and dele function are working,

the problem is based on
that if tb downloads the mail ( with option leave copies on the server )
mail stays in maildir cur now, but it cant be seen via pop3 list anymore
so its clear, whatever tb sends dele later connect it fails cause the
mail cant be seen via pop3 anymore
