Is this what you are talking about? Sorry - that was kind of confusiong. It has to do with the POP3 "RETR" command. With qpopper, after I RETR a message, the mail is updated as "READ". Since qpopper copies the mailbox around it can do this without much trouble. With CUCIPOP, if you leave mail on server, and you read your e-mail, the mail is not updated as READ. I think - it's been a while since I tried CUCIPOP. I do remember confirming the behavior with the author of CUCIPOP and he claims the RFC does not require him to do it (and I don't doubt him).
