Eeek.  No.  This should be exposed with just pop://user:pass@host/ and a
few custom directory atoms or whatever they're called.

Eek, no.  There should be a delete method too.

Eek no, don't do that.  There's already a getsize method common to all

Also, for all those that do only parts of a message, my indended goal was
to use ? style parameters so that you could do:

pop://host/1?show=headers-only
