Yes that would be useful, but this is a bigger change: you would have
to track exactly which filter made which decision, because the user can
check the same mailbox with different filters, which would lead to
different reject/accept decisions.

On SIGTERM, SIGHUP, or SIGINT (CTRL+C), mpop already updates the UIDLs
file. See mpop.c lines 1358ff. So that should definitely work, and it
does for me.

Are you maybe working on Windows? That system does not have signal
handling, and so this does not work.
