Thank you very much, Jason.  However, my server is a POP one,
otherwise I guess Gnus would not have been dumb enough to start
downloading my mails and deleting them assuming I knew some bizantine
settings to avoid that beforehand.  Thunderbird may be big and slow,
but at least it does not make such assumptions.

For a text-based mail-client, I'm looking into Alpine now.
