POPcon says it "drops copies" of downloaded email — what does this mean?

This is normal duplicate-prevention behaviour, not an error.

When multiple recipients of the same email all share one catch-all POP3 mailbox, POPcon receives multiple copies of that message. POPcon compares the message ID and recipient address — if it detects it has already delivered this message to this recipient, it drops the duplicate copy.

No email is lost. The original is delivered; only exact duplicates are dropped.
