Re: pop3: avoid fetching a mail twice

The project I am working on is called Aeromys.  I'm doing it as research for
my PhD dissertation.  The area of interest that I am focusing on is using
some modern filesystem caching techniques to intelligently predict
information that users will want to fetch from the IMAP server.  Thus, I'm
implementing an predictive caching algorithm.  It would just be simpler for
me to have full control over all of the mail cache so I can cache and expire
data as needed.
