I have the same situation with pop3. Surprisingly enough it only
started with DST. Under the Sco box I am configured as
TZ=CET-1,CETDST,M3,5,M10,5
Funny enough date and time under ms are configured like
GMT+1, I have the feeling that this causes problems but I haven't been
able to but some conclusive evidence to the problem.
