For you email gurus out there:

I open an email port like this:

bag: open pop://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
length? bag
== 5

and DO NOT close it while my program runs for, say, 10 minutes.
    If the server receives 3 more messages for me during that time and
I then do:

remove bag
close bag

Will only the original 5 messages be removed from the server or,
since the port was left open, will all 8 of the messages be removed from the
server. (with me never knowing about the last 3.)
