Dear Rob and others, I don't think there's a solution except for your users not to use Outlook express :-( I have been dealing with this problem for some time. Interesting to note that the other pop3 severs about are no better, Qpopper does seem the best. The solution is to get your users to: 1. increase the server timeouts to 5 minutes that's the max. 2. not to cancel the mail collection half way through and if they do then they MUST reboot before trying again 3. try to start it with pop3 stream tcp nowait.80 root /usr/local/sbin/popper qpopper -s -R -T 600 -f /etc/qpopper.conf in your inetd.conf and set chunky-writes = tls in /etc/qpopper.conf
4. The other Outlook express setting that seem to cause a problem is under accounts advanced "Leave a copy on server..." do not use this it really seems to make things go crazy. Well I hope that's a bit of a help. I guess we all should be encouraging our users to use Eudora, we could even buy it :-) and help support the development of Qpopper!
