Bug Description

I have some imap and pop folders for which I do not automatically expunge.
In trunk (rev 1086), I see these warnings every time I vm-get-new-mail...

Warning: Folder is not set to auto-expunge
Leaving messages on POP server; See info under "POP Spool Files"

I think these repeated warnings could be toned down. Maybe only output them once. That is probably simplest, but having a verbosity knob would be okay, too. I'd be fine if they were removed, but I can understand how these are useful in "Beginner mode".

These appear to be new since 8.1.1

I have made this change.

But, note that if you put these folders in the vm-{pop,imap}-auto-expunge-alist variables, you won't get the warnings.
