    my reasoning is that forwarding can fail, while if i just connect to POP and get everything in bulk, i don’t have problems

    also: forwarding changes the original headers, and if i forward spam my provider gets pissed

      forwarding can fail

      how so?

      i just connect to POP and get everything in bulk

      That can also fail.

      forwarding changes the original headers

      if i forward spam my provider gets pissed

      Both these things are fixable with standard mailing software.

      PS: I also don’t see why this forwarding-or-fetching is necessary at all. It’s easy to maintain several email addresses on any device.
