TOP <msg> <lines> returns the top few lines of a message, plust its
header. This can beused to return the header only. List returns stats
about each message (or a selected message). RETR returns the whole
message.

popclient seems to be issuing last, which I think has something to do with
the last read message in the mailbox. Are you transferring messages which
you have already transferred from Risc OS? If so then try adding the -a
switch as suggested elsewere (to transfer all messages) or send yourself a
test message, don't transfer it, and then see if just the new message is
transferred.
