[Dovecot] Question about the pop3 feature "leave messages on server for a certain period of time"

[Δημήτριος Καραπιπέρης]

Hi
I can clearly understand this, but what if we have two MUAs with 
different time period settings
on the same account , 10 days the first and 20 days the second.
The first when it will be connected on the 10th day it will delete on 
server all messages, so the second will not get anything at all
Correct?
