When the POP3 mail client (any POP3 client) issues the STAT command, the
server is supposed to respond with with the total of ALL messages on the
server, NEW and OLD. If there were 3 new messages and 20 previously
downloaded, the server is supposed to say that there are 23 messages
Gmail doesn't do that.
It is only possible for a POP3 client to delete messages that that STAT
command says are still there. The DELE command uses a relative message
number for the current session.
