any plans to support this in the future? Seems the inability to use LAST breaks that Yahoo remote mailbox slurper thing, not that I care too much about that, but some mail clients might miss it as well. ;)
This is a prehistoric feature, and I think it's a bad idea to include it.
(It was in RFC1460, removed in RFC1725 *eight* years ago, and the current POP3 spec is RFC1939)
All mail clients should be able to use UIDL to detect new mail; LAST was removed because it's conceptually broken (i.e. it assumes that conceptually your mailbox consists of N read mails followed by M unread mails, which often is not the case in real life)
