Although that can be done, it may be wise not to do so. It sort of
violates the POP3 standard.
RFC 1939 says:
# Since some of the optional features described above were added to the
# POP3 protocol, experience has accumulated in using them in large-
# scale commercial post office operations where most of the users are
# unrelated to each other. In these situations and others, users and
# vendors of POP3 clients have discovered that the combination of using
# the UIDL command and not issuing the DELE command can provide a weak
# version of the "maildrop as semi-permanent repository" functionality
# normally associated with IMAP. Of course the other capabilities of
#
# IMAP, such as polling an existing connection for newly arrived
# messages and supporting multiple folders on the server, are not
# present in POP3.
#
# When these facilities are used in this way by casual users, there has
# been a tendency for already-read messages to accumulate on the server
# without bound. This is clearly an undesirable behavior pattern from
# the standpoint of the server operator.
