Hey all,
Someone I've been setting up an account for, kept getting the same mail
over and over again. Having questioned him about it, he said that he had
the 'keep mail on server' option in Outlook. (*sigh* why can't people
use _real_ MUA's)
Then he said that *cyrus* was breaking the RFC since it wasn't supposed to send mail that was already sent, because Outlook requests from the last msgid.
Cyrus, or any other POP3 server, only sends the messages that the client asks for. Sounds to me like Outlook is broken. Most likely its not keeping track of the UIDs correctly. This sounds like a problem which has been discussed on the list before. Outlook doesn't seem to like the format or length of the UIDs that Cyrus uses, even though they are completely legal per the RFC and no other client has any problems.
