Dear Lev, I have reported the same situation some time ago, it seemed to me that sometimes (in very infrequent conditions) some "unknown data" are appended to the end of a regular message file so that it doesn't end with <cr><lf>. Then POP3 session hangs (as XMail by design always adds <cr><lf> to the end of message file and then expects to have it there in pop3 session).
Unfortunately, as this happens very rarely (twice a year on our system with about 360 mailboxes), Davide doesn't believe this is a XMail problem. Maybe if you would backup those "bad" messages and send it to Davide would help ;-) Cheers, Roman At 00:45 16.10.2003 -0700, you wrote: >Hi there, I'm using version 1.16 for Win. with about 200 >accounts.
