Hello,
Condition: A couple of Eudora 5.1 users from a pool of about 2000 have
experienced this issue. They have "leave on server" set (for no sensible
reason, but that's beside the point) and have apparently re-downloaded all
of the previously stored messages again. My guess is that something
recently changed on the client end, but I don't know what could cause it to
happen. Very few "leave on server" users have had this happen.
Question: What changes to Eudora, or its configuration could cause this?
Qpopper was configured as:
./configure --enable-servermode --enable-uw-kludge
I understand how the UIDL is calculated in qpopper (we are running 3.1.2),
but I do not know under what conditions the Eudora client could "forget"
that it has already downloaded a message. Where is the UIDL stored on the
client? (Is that even relevant?) What could possibly cause Eudora to change
its behavior with respect to the previously downloaded messages.
I don't yet have any knowledge what, if anything, has changed on the user's
client or computer. But I was wondering if there is a common list of things
to check or know about so that this doesn't happen again.
Thanks for your help.
