Use an advanced pop account, uncheck "retrieve all mail from server".

If a download is aborted old mail will not be retrieved again (based on seen 
UIDs).

Should be made the default once it is better tested.

No that wouldn't work at all, it would be horribly complicated to try and do 
it that way. Recieved mail could be filtered into any mail box, and there is 
no unique message id for mails (you can use message-id but this can be 
duplicated so we need to avoid using this whenever possible).
