I'm going to answer my own question and say its because dovecot keeps mangling the mboxes. This is a critical bug. I hope that dovecot-1.0 is released soon. We would love to have a proper pop3 and imap daemon that supports mbox format. Is there any speculation whatsoever on a release date for v1.0?

OK, this applies whether or not a user account is set to leave mail on the server or not. There are several things that might happen, depending on who knows what:

1. Mail pops fine.
2. The "DO NOT DELETE THIS EMAIL" keeps downloading over and over again.
3. All emails since the switch to this new test dovecot pop3d will be downloaded over and over again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
