Ok, then this means CSCMail isn't getting correct POP-3 info from the server
(or CSCMail's POP-3 code is mangled...)

That is interesting... I had no problem importing the file you sent to the
list...

You might want to do a fresh CVS checkout of CSCMail... make sure your running
the most recent 1.7.9 code... What I am running is in CVS so if you update,
you'll be using the same version as me...

Also, make sure you don't have two copies of csclib.pl laying around (say, if
you did an upgrade from 1.6.1 in /usr/lib and then put 1.7.x in /usr/local/lib)
This kind of "wierd" error can be caused by a version mis-match... I am going
to add code later today so that CSCMail will check the version in csclib.pl and
give a warning/error if there is a mismatch...

Yes, that is a "normal" debug/status message

Yeah, there wouldn't be an error message if it simply doesn't find a "valid"
RFC compliant e-mail message in the file... It just silently ignores
non-mail...

That is very odd... I will admit that the "dupe checking" code was not written
by me, and the last time I looked at it, it was a complete mess.  It is on my
"todo" list to re-write dupe checking from scratch... (Yet another, post-1.8.0
thing I need to get done)

If you don't mind, please see if you can isolate this.	Under
"Mail"->"Accounts" turn off "Include in Full Mail check" for the GMX account,
and see if you still have problems... Then turn off all of your accounts EXCEPT
the gmx account, etc... If you can isolate it down to the gmx account, then we
may be dealing with a not 100% POP compliant server (or /shudder/ a bug in
CSCMail's POP code)... if so, (and I dunno if this is possible or not) if you
could get me a test account with GMX somehow, I could delve into it and figure
out what needs to be done to support GMX?
