Yes. If I simply set 'pop3-leave-mail-on-server' to t, and don't set any:prescript functions, it works as expected. All the servers are checked, and messages are left on all servers. Unfortunately, I think Franklin Lee, author the epop3mail package, has moved on to other things, and is not really maintaining that package anymore. I know Karel Sprenger and some others made a few minor modifications to this package to allow it to be used with fsf emacs 21.1, but there are not a lot of resources working on it. That said, I think the primary issue with using epop3mail with XEmacs is the dependency on ange-ftp. It might be possible to eliminate that dependency easily. Curiously, if I use epop3mail with fsf emacs, define an epop3-fetch function which calls epop3-mail, and set all the mail sources to call that function, everything works as advertised. However, if I have some mail-sources calling the epop3-mail function, and others with no :function defined (presumably calling the native pop3), then: 1) I get errors on each mail check, and never get any messages from the non-epop3 servers, and 2) I am re-prompted for the password for those non-epop3 servers everytime I try to check mail. Perhaps this is somehow related to the XEmacs pop3.el problem with toggling the value of pop3-leave-mail-on-server. I'm not sure what buffers you mean. I've tried this setup in my .gnus file, and even when I first start up gnus, it fails to check the non-'leave-on-server' sources.
