POP3 offers fewer mailbox-state controls than IMAP. Leaving messages can retrieve them again; deleting immediately can reduce recovery options if later processing fails. Test unique correlation, attachment extraction, malformed/large mail, network loss after retrieval, delete failure and restart behaviour. Do not enable repeated automatic retrieval without a durable duplicate rule. See operate Transports.
