Hello,

POP3 server does not delete mails when user quits POP3 session, but only at 
the next login.
It looks so - user logs in with USER and PASS commands, at this moment new 
messages are moved from /new to /cur maildir folder. Then messages are 
deleted with DELE command(before deleting there can be other POP3 commands) 
and the user quits session. The server says "+OK Logging out, messages 
deleted.", but in fact messages are not deleted from the disk and stays 
in /cur folder. And these messages are deleted only when user logs in next 
time.
