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) |
