There is even more functionality in pop3 protocol. It is possible to retrieve the mail headers without the bodys. So you can read sender and subject and so on without downloading the text body and attachments and delete messages if you dont want them. The only mail client that supports this feature i know is the one integrated in Star Office 5.2. But it is unusable for some bugs. For example it stores the mails locally in files named of the mail's subject. if this subjects starts with a dot, it cannot find it anymore cause it is hidden in the file system. And it is not very stable also.
