It looked like the QUIT command wasn't sent at all: the server was always showing the number of actually connected users and their limit. With every click in Arachne (to change directory or get a file) the number of connected users increased by one until it reached the limit (which was quite small). Then I was unable to do anything more, I had to wait some time (until I got automatically disconnected?). This behavior was reproducible, but only with this particular server. Unfortunately, I don't remember what kind of software was running on this server; its OS was some kind of Un*x, so it wasn't Micros**t IIS ;-) I don't even remeber what version of Arachne I was using at that time. It cannot be reproduced with current Arachne and current configuration of the server (the only user-visible changes are the greeting messages and user number limit, which is now quite big: 90). Do you have any idea what caused such a strange behavior? An idea: could QUIT be intelligently avoided between subsequent FTP transactions? Re-logging in often takes quite long time (looking at the status line messages), even when download speeds are very good.

There is a file on the server that keeps all contents of your mailbox (all messages in a chain, like in mail folders on your local hard disk with Netscape Mail or some other e-mail clients; Arachne is an exception). When you send 'DELE n' command to the PO3 server, n-th message is removed from that mailbox file and no backup copy of it is created, as far as I know. > Is there any way you can retrieve some messges you have accidentally > deleted from your POP3 server?

No bet. I'm more interested in finding a solution. So what do you suggest: a) We email Big Bill, getting him to change his software to accomodate Arachne, then getting all the people using his present version to upgrade? or b) We, the Arachne users group, try to find a way of making Arachne accept the Micro$not version?

Until then, they are still stored, and marked for deletion. I would have to re-read the RFC to get the command, but the "deleted" messages can be retrieved if you do it before signing off.

There was your problem. The IDX file included in the original dowload of v1.71 *did* have that nocache line in it. Did you by-chance edit the file to remove the nocache line so that the index would stop reloading every time you hit "I" ? To speed things up when the inbox had a very large number of messages in it ???? I ask this because I can't remember now how many different people did this back during the disussion about several hundred old emails still left in the inbox.

In some of the elections here I don't vote because all of the candidates are equally bad and it doesn't make any difference to me as to who wins or loses. Why should I vote in an election like that? I never vote unless in my opinion there are some candidates on the ballot who aren't quite so bad as the rest of the scoundrels. Around here there are many voters who say they always vote against the incumbents by voting for the candidates who seem to have the best chance of defeating them. Those kinds of voters don't even care whatever are the party affiliations of the incumbents, nor do they care about the party affiliations of their opponents. Their political philosophy is very simple. They just think that the incumbents should always be voted out and their strongest opponents voted in. A very significant number of all the votes cast in any democratic election are the votes of the anti-incumbents.
