Only if your server supports it. Technically, the LAST command was 
removed from the POP standard back in 1994.

In any case, I believe that if you set $mcache, you don't have to 
worry about whether your server supports LAST or not.

Kmail keeps a copy of all messages, and so doesn't rely on the LAST 
command to figure out what messages it has already downloaded: it can 
just look at which ones it *has*.
