Today I ran across a problem I haven't had before. I set up an ACF for my 3rd mail account, and every time I tried to download mail the process was aborted. I couldn't figure out why! I looked at the POP3.log and it showed I'd gotten in and had gotten to LIST & RETR then nothing. I couldn't figure it out! I went online with primary account, went to mailstart to see if I could get web access to that account. No problem, lots of messages, etc. So I looked at POP3.log again. Discovered that I want another bell & whistle added Arachne -- an option, not necessarily a default. I would like to be able to set up POP3 log with more than one file name, so that I can have that log [backup for lost messages] for more than one e-mail account. Currently that log is overwritten every time mail is downloaded, so there is no backup if a download is interrupted and you have to start again. Huh? No backup? But POP3 software won't erase your mail from the DELE commands unless a proper QUIT is received, right? WRONG! Apparently there is a a new Linux version of POP3 out there, and since it saves each e-mail as a separate file, and not the old single flat file they used to have, the DELE command is obeyed the minute it is given ... before the next file is even list/retr 'd. Now, for some of those who have had terrible problems with aborted downloads and having to start over from scratch each time they try again, this would indeed be a blessing! However, it backs the backup pop3.log more important. Currently, if I download my lstewart mail, the pop3.log for that d/l is overwritten when I then download my l.d.best mail. That's why I'd like to be able to have a differently named pop3 log for each of my mail accounts. Is it possible? And no, I don't want each download appended to the existing file <G> ... my HDD would fill up in no time! l.d. -- Arachne V1.60;b1, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
