Are you really using UW ipop3d? ipop3d is identical to imapd internally.
yep....it all came from debian.
Unfortunately, that doesn't tell me anything.
The correct solution in that case is to rebuild both imapd and ipop3d, and
use the binaries from the same build. If your imapd/ipop3d binaries came
from a third party, it may have modifications of unknown nature and equally
unknown (lack of) quality.
I cannot build anything....if I do that....i will lack support for apt-get
update/upgrade from debian update system.
Unfortunately, if that is the case, then there is not much that I can do
to help you.
Your software has been modified; what's more it has been modified in an
inconsistant fashion. I do not know the precise nature of those
modifications, and I have no good way of finding out. However, I can tell
you that you would not have this problem with unmodified software.
If you are unable or unwilling to use the original, unmodified software,
then your best bet for support would be to contact the distributor of the
modified software (which I guess would be Debian) and ask them for
support. I assume that they had a reason for their modifications and for
the inconsistant behavior of ipop3d vs. imapd.
As far as stopping messages from being moved, it depends upon what file
name that the messages are being moved to. The name is probably one of
mbox, mail.txt, INBOX, or INBOX.MTX. Which one is it?
INBOX
If an INBOX file is being written in the home directory, then something
was done to make imapd use mbx format while at the same time preventing
ipop3d from doing so.
Unfortunately, I don't know what that "something" may be; and I prefer not
to guess. In my experience, the best way to solve problems such as yours
is to remove all modifications and run the original, unmodified version.
