   The fetching software has to download ALL a.a.m postings   
   and store them in a local repository.  That's what's   
   recommended and supported by OmniMix with its Hamster   
   subsystem.  Individual message retrieval initiated by a   
   POP3 command is a local process hidden from an adversary,   
   who won't be able to notice the flooding of an account.
