Hey,
why not setting debug from qpopper to a higher value to see
what is going on ?
Another "solution" would be to compile qpopper with another
option. Don't remind the
exact string, but the meaning was delete the message from
spool after downloading
by a client (regardless what the the client says about
"Leave the message ...")
But only my 2 points
Greetings Torsten
