When a user logs in using POP3-authentication, against a pop3 server in
servers.php, the Fetch Mail and Other Mail Accounts features are
available.

However, these features do not work for POP3, because the POP3 version
only shows what is available on the POP3 server, awaiting collection by
another POP3 client.

If used, this is what the feature does:
- IMP accesses the mail server correctly (POP3), and issues RETR 
statements for all the waiting mail.  However, it always shows "Fetchmail:
Fetched 0 messages from [whatever the account name is]
- The mail does not show in the inbox, as the inbox is only displaying a
single POP3 account's email.

Jan has confirmed this is a bug during a discussion on the IMP mailing
list.
