Does anyone use Andy> pop3.el with gnus? Are there any other pop access packages? I have exactly the same problem with our POP server, even if I specify the DELE command the mail doesn't get deleted. I use the package epop3mail from Franklin Lee http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs/contrib/ep3m-095.zip which extends pop3.el to include UIDL support. epop3mail at this time only works with FSF emacs. It would be great if this package could work also in Xemacs.
