Perhaps I should bump this thread by way of a simple question:
Is anyone out there successfully using the OpenBD tag CFPOP to retrieve
email w/attachments?
Thanks!

BACKGROUND:
Traditional ACF behavior for CFPOP is to read a user's email into a
"query" object, with each row being a message. Email attachments are
saved off into individual files ONLY IF you provide an
"attachmentpath" attribute. Because the same path is used by all
attachments, the "generateUniqueFilenames" attribute prevents file
overwrites.
CFPOP places one comma delimited list (tab delimited as of CF8) of
attachment file names per message into an "attachments" column of the
query. There's also a similar "attachmentfiles" column, but with the
expanded path of each file. If generateUniqueFilenames was false, then
CFPOP would just use the file's native name - otherwise CFPOP would
use a unique name and the file's native suffix.
PROBLEM:
OpenBD's CFPOP seems to respect the "attachmentpath" attribute, but
not the "generateUniqueFilenames" attribute. All the attachments of a
single message are saved under the extension-less name "unknownfile",
and subsequently overwritten by each attachment & message retrieved,
leaving one with a single file of unknown type in the attachmentpath
after retrieving multiple messages with attachments.
ENVIRONMENT:
This issue is observed when retrieving emails from a Dovecot IMAP/POP3
server that were originally sent by AOL's feedback loop system. The
MTA is SendMail.
