I downloaded a patch file from mailhandler module and need to apply the changes in order to fix the problem of pop3 accounts not deleting emails after download (import). How do I install it?

Here are a few links that may help you learn more about patching:

Your third link is what I needed. I had seen all of the other links and didn't find them basic enough. The one that you found is indeed the one I was looking for. It's very detailed. Thanks. – Q Beat Feb 23 '12 at 2:22

There's a description in every module under the tab version control. Scroll down to the title "Applying a patch" to find a description about applying patches with git.

Thanks, I learned something here too. the "tab version control" used to be called someting else, "Git instructions". Thanks. Now, if I only knew what GIT meant! – Q Beat Feb 23 '12 at 2:23
