Yes, I have the same problem here. Qpopper will sometimes
hang and has to be killed. I did an strace on the hanging
process and it appears to be waiting for input. It allways
hangs after the client has sent its name and password.
The old version (2.xx) and the latest (3.1) have the same
problem.
It happens only on two accounts. A possible reason for this
problem migh be that they use the outlook version that comes
with Office 97 (sigh) and they read each others email,
but leave it on the server.
Any comments?
