Correct. > Given the size of the file (23.9MB) and depending on how busy your > server is, isn't this a bit short between checks? Not really. All POP requests are properly terminated well before new messages come in or other POP connections attempts arrive. I checked that. I could show you identical behaviour with a 3 MB mailbox and a popping period of fifteen minutes. Size is not the issue here. Eric Luyten, Computing Centre VUB/ULB.
