That's true. However the imapd or popd delivered with Linux RH
are only simple daemons.
I use the qpopper which gives you a lot of configuration options, like
flush the mail from the server after transfer, before and without a quit.
I use this for modem dialin. Sometimes my client fetches the mails from
the server (>5MB) and the transfer breaks. So all the mail are fetched
again with the normal pop3d, but not with the qpopper daemon. Ok, there's
a risk, but that's not the problem.
