Subject: popa3d and uw imap pseudo-message

Hello,

Currently we are running uw imapd/ipop3d.
Till now we had popa3d and its much faster than ipop3d.
But since we had to use uw imap for now, we are forced to use ipop3d because 
of pseudo-message. 
Mail "DONT DELETE THIS MESSAGE *" is placed into inbox every time imap detects 
inbox is empty, which is what happend when you download all mail with pop3.
So, users are getting this annoying email very often.
I thought I should write patch for popa3d to ignore this email, but it seems 
like not possible, since 1. leak of c knowledge 2. not much free time.

Is there any posibility this could be supported in new version of popa3d, or 
someone skilled could write patch for this?
