strange behaviour when fetching mail after system restore from image (old registry)
Hello bats, I just went to a backup (image) of my system partition that was two days old and recognized strange behaviour while fetching mail: [02:22:48] C: Connected to 127.0.0.1, port 110 [02:22:48] S: +OK POP3 POPFile (v0.20.1) server ready [02:22:48] C: USER xxx [02:22:49] S: +OK May I have your password, please?

These features can only be tested on the pre-release stage because it's when all files are getting together and installation routine can be tested in full. -- Best regards, Stefan ..."I'm an idealist.
