Just recently over the past few days a number of users have been
complaining that their inbox is duplicating itself and they're ending
up with doubles and triples of the same emails in their inbox. It
seems to be related to the mail client downloading their entire inbox
from the server (again) and adding it to the previous stored copy
on their local hard disk.

Nothing has changed regarding our site configuration for the past
few years and this is the first I've heard of the problem, so my
current thinking is that it must be some sort of virus/trojan or a
piece of corrupt email that was received. It also appears to only
be targeting those who are using Mozilla/Thunderbird connected
to the mail server via uw-pop3d.

I'm definitely not complaining or trying to point fingers - just
wondering if anyone has (just recently) run into the same issue
and whether they've figured out what is causing it. The version
of uw-pop3d that we're running is 2004.89. I thought about
upgrading it but would like to track down the cause of the problem
vs. blindly making changes hoping to fix it.

Thanks for any info.

-Brian
