Hello Don

Since you fixed this bug last night, I am no more able to use KMail to 
extract mail from pop3 servers. Sometimes process blocks on "Preparing..." 
other times on closing kio_pop3 after checking completed with 0 messages (but 
messages surely exist on the server) other times nothing happens. Only 
moments when kio_pop3 functions correctly is when there are no messages on 
the server.

I am positive this was introduced by the last commit to kio_pop3 last night 
at 20:41 EDT. This is a showstopper. Did it go into the RC1?

On another hand, when checking mail from the local mailbox, with filters, all 
messages are marked "Read". This wasn't happening with the pop3 checking.

Thanks for your attention
