That sounds about how POP3 works in my experience. How were you expecting it to behave differently?

Well the only problem is that if they receive a new message, not only do you get the new message but another copy of ALL messages on the server. A scenario that I have not experienced with any other POP3 server/client setup. The correct behavior should be to only download the new message.

from doing a search on dovecot and uidl, it seems that dovecot supports these functions, which is the standard way for a pop3 server to announce unique checksums of messages. Whether or not your client software supports this is another matter.
