Exactly the same problem here... upgraded from 5.08 to 6.01, following the
upgrade recommendations in the pdf included in the file...
I already posted an issue in this mailing list but it didn't generated
answers about it.
I'm happy to see that i'm not the only one (I asked myself if I was dumb or
not).
Maybe if you haven't noticed.. when you access a mailbox with web access, it
makes the number of messages appear and let people get them through POP3...
this is pretty weird and i'm angry about this.
NOW WE WANT ANSWERS !!!
We can't affrod to have such problems with our server.
