The problem encountered is the status of emails on the server isn't being updated. The POP client (Eudora 6.2 in this instance) will retrieve the message, have the message read, apparently update the status on the server (via the "Check Mail" function), but yet the status on the server has not been updated as read (verified by going into our IMP Webmail client, and looking at the mail message in the mailstore - there is no ".S" extension). Using the IMAP protocol doesn't bring about this behaviour.
POP3 itself doesn't know/care about Seen-flag. Some servers set it when POP3 client downloads the message, and some don't. Dovecot 0.99.x doesn't touch the flag. 1.0-stable/test releases update it optionally.
