But as Jorey Bumb said, wouldn't it be easier to just switch to IMAP and 
offer your customers a better protocol than POP3? I don't see why you 
are still offering POP when IMAP provides what you want in the first 
place. Plus from the sound of it, you are keeping all the messages left 
on the server anyway, so in essence you are already running IMAP! Don't 
mean to sound like I am ranting, just my .02.
