Neal,

  When you telnet in and read mail with pine, elm, mail, etc, you
  will probably see a "message" from MAILER-DAEMON with a subject
  of "DON'T DELETE..."

  This message tells mail software (pop3) when the mail was last
  read and hence which message to "start" with.  In other words,
  the server you are connecting to "thinks" you have already read
  those messages.  Connect by hand or whatever and delete THAT
  message (should be the first one) and on the next connection
  the QUBE should read ALL mail that is there.
