And you're certain this is the case? I know for certain that with  
Courier, which also uses maildir format, it doesn't matter which  
directory the message is in; new or cur. As long as the message isn't  
moved from the Inbox itself (which comprises both new and cur) or  
downloaded and removed from the server by another POP3 client, other  
POP3 clients will still see the messages.
