RE: Certain messages defy pop3 .uidls tracking mechanism ...

I would almost guess that its a bug in your mail server. andy > -----Original Message----- > From: xemacs-beta-admin(a)xemacs.org > [mailto:xemacs-beta-admin＠xemacs.org]On Behalf Of Peter Davis > Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 9:09 AM > To: xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org > Subject: Certain messages defy pop3 .uidls tracking mechanism ... > > > > This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, > not to your local site managers!! > Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have > translators to read other languages for them. > > > Please describe as succinctly as possible: > - What happened. > - What you thought should have happened. > - Precisely what you were doing at the time. > > Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. > ================================================================ > Dear Bug Team! > > Thanks to a suggestion from Stephen Turnbull of upgrading to 21.4.6, > I've basically gotten the pop3-leave-mail-on-server functionality > working with gnus.
