POP server: InterMail (on plala.or.jp)
>Description:
Sometimes mutt mistakingly deletes POP messages
even though I haven't used "d" (delete) or "s" (save).
Sometimes it even tries to delete number "-1".
This bug appears when the POP box has around 1000 messages or more.

===============================================
>How-To-Repeat:
0. Press 'c'.
1. Input a POP box name.
2. Stay there to wait til the box has more than 900 messages.
3. (Timeout occurs)
4. Some messages can be lost, or mutt just tries to delete "-1".
>Fix:
Unknown - I'm trying to find, though.
At least, I suggest you use unsigned type for (*HEADER)->refno.
