I've setup the pop server exactly as it on the Win98 box.
I've even written a Java pop3 client test prorgram.
I have run this Java client on all three on my machines at home.
Here are the results.
On MDK 9.0: getTotalMessages() == 0;
On Solaris9: getTotalMessages() == 65;
On Win98: getTotalMessages() == 65;
I'm lost.
I'm know that KMail is making contact with my mail server because
it prompts for a password. After which I'm authenticated.
But, the pop3 client that I have written is:
try {
Pop3Client pop3Client = new Pop3Client("pop-server.elp.rr.com");
boolean status = pop3Client.connect();
if(status){
status = pop3Client.login("myUserName","myPassword");
if(status){
System.out.println("Number of new messages = " +
pop3Client.getTotalMessages();
}
}
}
catch(Exception e1){
System.out.println("Pop3Client |" + e1);
}
Very simple test program.
On MDK 9.0 the print statement ALWAYS prints.
number of new messages = 0.
Go figure
