Hi Howie,

Is there a "feature" in the POP3 server which will automatically mark a message to be 
deleted if the file cannot be found during the POP3 interaction (IOW as specified in 
popmail= output)?  To clarify, user logs into POP3 server, and PASS.cfm returns a 
listing of mail in their mailbox as one or more 'popmail=msgid,path\to\mail.file'.  If 
path/to/mail.file doesn't exist, it would appear that the message is automatically 
marked as if the POP3 client said to delete it.  Is this correct?

If so, I need a way to disable this "feature" ASAP.  Consider this scenario, which 
just happened to us the other day:  all mail files are stored on a remote file server. 
 The file server became unavailable for a couple of minutes.  During this time someone 
checked their mailbox which had a bunch of mail in it that had collected overnight.  
The POP3 client got no mail and no error.  But, apparently, since the mail files could 
not be accessed that minute, the messages were marked to be deleted and the records 
were removed from the DB, even though the mail files were available again once the 
file server came back.

Thanks,
-Max
