This is different case than x-uidl or uidl. 
Your fetch program do as filtering program for your sylpheed, it does
download whole messages first, while using uidl no need front end
filtering and only download uidl data (more faster).

x-uidl is an header added by popserver when client successfully
download/fetch message (RETR), so when client reconnect he will see
those header through TOP command (eudora will issue TOP command when
leave message on server is set).
