The trouble is that POP3 does not permit stopping a download in mid-
stream. If you really want to do that, all you can do is drop the
connection (the socket). A consequence is that the deletes that you
have ordered will then not be done; they are queued up, and only acted
on when quitting in an orderly manner.
