Hi, KMail maintainer here.

> This is not so easy. POP3 is very simple protocol, not designed for random access to messages. It also does not enforce unique ID of messages on the server.

For servers without UID support, we would disable this feature.

> Do I have any guarantee that my patch will be accepted? One patch lays here 4 years already...

Sorry, that patch was before my time, I usually try to deal with every patch we
get. That patch is now against KDE3, which is feature-frozen. I'd much prefer a
patch against the Akonadi POP3 resource.
Implementing it in Akonadi would also be a bit easier, since that has
consistent notifications about deleted items, and also unique Akonadi item IDs.
The POP3 resource would just need to remember the Akonadi Item ID<->POP3 UID
mapping, and listen to deletion notifications.

The Akonadi POP3 resource is currently very much work in progress, I haven't
been able to finish it yet, but I will do that eventually of course.
My plans also included addressing this bug, but I can't promise anything.
