John, if you used the IMAP protocol instead of POP3, that should be possible. IMAP is a server-side solution where you don't have to worry about permanently downloading messages - the messages stay on your e-mail server; plus by default, IMAP only downloads e-mail message headers, and not the entire message, unless you select individual messages.
