That was a rather large "snippet" :-P > However, it hangs indefinitely. It seems that after issuing QUIT command libcurl does > not issue FIN, ACK. After hitting CTRL^C it sends FIN, ACK. I have checked for all pop3 > commands. This happens on all commands but LIST. Please help. Is the QUIT command definitely being sent? I would expect libcurl to wait for data when it is expecting to receive data from the server after a command such as LIST or RETR. However if the QUIT command has definitely been sent, then we have got past that and all is good from an application layer point of view. Note: The POP3 server doesn't send any data for commands like DELE [1] so we have to tell libcurl not to wait with CURLOPT_NOBODY [2] but if you are trying to do a simple message retrieval then we don't need this. Are you able to run the command line version of curl against the server to see what is happening? curl -v pop3://host/1 -u username:password Also what version of libcurl are you using?
