Hmm, that can get messy if servers do something unpredictable.

e.g. It's expected that each message has a unique number. The mail
client knows that if it's fetched message X, then it doesn't need to
fetch it again. If a server gives a new message the same number as one
the client has already fetched, the client thinks its the old message
that it's fetched, so it doesn't fetch this one.

And there's other gotchas: Clients not downloading what it thinks are
"read" messages, where the flagging of "read" has been inappropriately
associated with a message.

Broken messages jamming up the server.

There's a rather lengthy list of things that go wrong when you try
leaving messages on servers, particularly when using protocols not
really designed for that sort of thing (like POP3).

I've been using gmail for my mail servers for several years now, with
several accounts. This is the first time I've had a problem. I love
having the redundancy of being able to check my email online with gmail.
