dovecot - May 2005 - new-attrib lost when calling through pop3

Hi,

I noticed, that all messages are moved from new/ to cur/ (using 
maildirs) after the authentication in pop3, even before the list 
command. I'm working with 1.0-stable-20050426. Why is this done? 
Shouldn't a message keep it's new-attrib as long as it isn't
retrieved?
This is how it worked with qmail-pop3d. Through imap, it works 
correctly. It's just sad if I can't distinguish between older and new 
emails with imap, just because I logged in through pop3 shortly before.

Regards
Marten

Hmm. I guess.. Well, I'll put it in TODO.

For now you can use pop3_no_flag_updates = yes.
