When POPping messages, the plugin does not look for the message that was *just* sent.  It only looks for those that were sent prior to this iteration.  With the newish "delete orphans" behavior, the super-new messages are considered orphans, and they are deleted.  This patch changes the behavior such that all messages are considered equal when POPping, since that happens after sending.

I also added a few more "if $debug" warning lines, and added "Debug => $debug" option to the Net::POP3 constructor call.
