imap_mail_move on POP3 mailbox

Got most of my IMAP functionality done. Now…on to moving the messages

In reading about the imap_mail_move function, it is clear that trying to use it on a POP3 mailbox doesn’t work.
If you try it, you will get an error: “Copy not valid for POP3”.

You get a Copy not valid because imap_mail_move first copies the message then marks the messages delete flag to true.

Is there a way around this at all? How can I move messages from my INBOX to another mailbox in my POP3 mailbox using imap functions?
