Thanks, that's much clearer now. :)
I'll try my own program again and will be looking for the bug. You do have
specified that you want retrieved mail deleted?

Thank you so much for telling me that. Unfortunately, few people care to
send my something like this.

I thought about it and propose that we keep kmailretriever as a separate
program and that kmail uses it to retrieve mail. I would then need to add
IMAP (etc.) and multiple mail server support to kmailretriever. I would do
that if the rest of the kmail team agrees on this. Stefan T.? 

I'd like to hear thoughts of other people using kmailretriever, too.
Please!!

Both programs have a text interface, they are used in a terminal :)
Nowhere near as nice, yet very good quality. No offense :)
