I would agree with that, too. Your e-mail client goes out and grabs the
e-mail. IT knows what e-mail it has grabbed and what it has not. If it
thinks it has not grabbed a certain e-mail, it will grab it. That make
sense?

Guys,
In the POP3 RFC, there is no such thing as a PROFILE
command or variable. All of this is happening at the
client level, not at the Imail level. The valid POP3
commands are:
USER name
PASS string
QUIT
STAT
LIST [msg]
RETR msg
DELE msg
NOOP
RSET
QUIT
IOW, there is no facility on the server side for
determining whether a given username/password
combination has been used by a different client-side
profile, nor is there any difference between a user
account authenticating with one password or another
(this is not necessarily true if an account is deleted
and recreated from scratch, however -- same as in any
network authentication situation).
I will look at my Outlook setup to see what sort of
information it hashes to discriminate between
profiles/identities. I am convinced that your issue is
server-indepedendent.
Regards,
Sandy

Cal & Matt,
I just had another situation very similar but not exact
when the MIS Manager
changed his password and re-logged onto Outlook to
retrieve e-mail...it
actually downloaded all the messages left out on the
server. He then went
back in and changed his password again and the same
results...it downloaded
all the messages again off the server. I thought this
only worked this way
if the username was changed or deleted then put back on
or if the actual
account was deleted within the client then re-
setup...go figure???
Does anyone know if this is a known feature of IMail
where it detects on
both username & password in regards to thinking it's a
new profile?
Anything on this Dan or Eric?

We had a problem LIKE this one. It has been a while
and I do not remember
all the details, but when the user logged into their
computer using 1 user
name, they did a send/receive and got all their
messages. Then if they
logged in as A Different User To The Computer (like a
laptop that is now not
connected to the local network, but rather thru a dial-
up...) when they
grabbed their mail, Imail did not recognize the profile
so it assumed that
the messages had not been dl'ed as of yet, and spit
them out again.

I have had this problem repeatedly with several
different clients for quite
some time. I never could figure out the reason. The
only way we could
clear it was to turn off the "keep copies on server x
days" and do a send
and receive. This would clear the server of any
messages and then we could
turn it back on until the problem occurred again. This
occurred with great
frequency under Imail 5.x.
While I cannot absolutely confirm this, I believe that
the problem more or
less went away when I upgraded to version 6.x
I would like any input as to why it occurred. I have
had a couple of random
complaints from users, but haven't been able to verify
if it is still
actually happening.
What version are you running?

Ok, I have one user that's reported this so far. She
says that every other
day her Outlook 2000 client re-downloads all the
messages that she has up on
the server. I have all users with the "5 days"
criteria of keeping copies
of their mail on the server for emergencies. We have
all Outlook clients
configured as "Internet-Only" mode for POP3, but I also
have the IMAP
service running on IMail server as well. No one is
having this problem but
her, so what could this be?
I mean she gets mail fine one day then the next she's
receiving all mail
that's on the server. The next day this could happen
all throughout the day
not just on a every other day basis. Any ideas?
