Hi,

I'd like to upgrade from qpopper3.11 to qpopper4.0.4.  The only real
problem I've encountered is that we've been running qpopper3.11 in
server mode, without it updating the X-UIDL headers on disk.

using qpopper4.0.4 in server mode with update-status-headers turned off,
we get the same functionality.

BUT the X-UIDL headers calculated by qpopper4.0.4 seem to be different, as
pop clients will download a second copy when you switch from qpopper3.11
to qpopper4.0.4.

Is there a known work-around for this?  I've been playing on a test-box,
and if I use a pop client to check mail with popper3.11 not in server mode
such that it DOES write X-UIDL headers, than switch to a popper4.0.4 in
server mode, it's fine as it doesn't recalculate the already calculated
headers.

but this would mean finding a way to force X-UIDL calculation by
popper3.11 for all the mailspools right before the transition.  huge pain
in the butt, if even plausible to do.

So any ideas?  Is there a secret popper-3.11-uidl-compatability mode?

thanks,

p.s. solaris 8, sparc, gcc, etc.
