    IMHO, the 'leave messages on server' is a completly fucked up and 
stupid way of trying to do something that IMAP4 does very well, 
intelligently and RFC-based.

    If you need to use different MUAs to check the same account, you 
really should consider using IMAP4. You'll have message flagging stored 
on server (read messages, new messages, replied ones) ... you can even 
configure your MUA to store sent messages on a IMAP4 folder and see 
those sent messages from MUA1 when you access the mailbox on MUA2 !!!
