Thanks for that. Obviously I'm now "in the know" about that message but 
hopefully

it will help the next guy in this situation.

 From memory I did not think there was a "bug" here, simply that e.g. 
the man page

could point out if you have pop3+keep you MUST use uidl  (or something 
like that).


I believe what you are saying is, you may well see a bug, but this is an 
old version so

you're , understandably, not willing to dig back that far. I was 
pointing out, that one of my systems

runs 6.4.38-1  (which is new enough to be worth looking at?) . If it 
would be useful I can run a test

on that ?


1: Would it be useful

2: what test would you like me to run? (is it pop3+keep and no uidl? 
..with -vv , or something more specific)
