Yes, the open method is also used by the code.
So as I see it, it boils down to the question:

Is it OK for the open method to open a second connection to the
mailserver if the POP3 protocol is used (which actually doesn't
have folders)?

If you agree this is abnormal behaviour I'll provide a testcase.

Thanks,
