Nope. The pop daemon only delivers whole message and then either keeps
it whole or deletes it whole. You cannot just receive parts and then
quit. The POP server would then just close you mail file without
changes. At least that's what it is supposed to do!

Can you tell me the name of the ISP mail host then I can check what type
of POP3 daemon they use. I just need the DNS name, no user or passwd for
your account!
