Indeed you are correct again . This noon i tried to download my email
from my Windows Installation, while yesterday i have left the messages on
the server , well tthey downloaded everything , they reported the entire
number of messages as new , while there were not . Since the POP3 protocol
is platform independent we can safely say that indeed the POP3 protocol has
no mechanism of differentiating new from old mails . Despite that 
yesterday night
i have read the POP3 RFC from rfc-editor.org and indeed there was no 
reference
to a mechanism that would clasify messages to new and old ones .
