OK, I can see that this might have a use case. However, implementing this is not straightforward. It requires to disable pipelining for mail filtering because several retrieval commands might already have been submitted when a filter decides to cancel retrieval -- we need to clean up this case. I don't have the time to implement this, but would probably accept patches if the stopping of retrievals is implemented cleanly.
