If the connection is dropped (time-out, etc.), and you need to
re-establish the session, make sure to issue the UIDL command to
validate the integrity of your message numbers.
You can also issue the NOOP (NO OPeration) command every few seconds,
which won't do anything but restart time-out timers on the Server and
prevent disconnection.
Also, I suggest you use the POP3 UIDs (from the UIDL command) instead of
the Message-ID header, since the former is guaranteed by the POP3 server
to be unique, and the latter is not (it is guaranteed to be unique on
the SMTP server that assigned it, but we don't know nor care who that is
when connected to the post office).
Also, it is easier because it does not require parsing the headers.
