pop3 feature leave mails on the servers works i.e with thunderbird
with a local list in Tb what is allready download for compare
so its not only a server feature, so you will allways download all mails
new if using a new client without that list, or you changed something
on the server ( i.e X-UIDL changed ) and existing list isnt longer build
like before

see i.e

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Popstate.dat

however i had some problems with pop3 leave mails on the server
with virtual plugin, but that was fixed and works with setup right way
