In this case there is no quota and the user has 40 msg in the inbox but this is the only one that is being downloaded time after time. And there have been messages received after this one was and those do not get downloaded again. Very weird if you ask me.
Also I'm running Qpopper (version 4.0.5) on a RH Linux 9.0 server. The client is running on a Sony Notebook XP and Outlook 2003
Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.
I havn't been following this thread closely, but are they using Outlook Express and/or a virus scanner which intercepts their email client (pop3 proxy) ?
If so there's your problem. Both Outlook Express and some email virus scanning software are buggy and hang on downloading *some* particular messages. I've never quite been able to determine *what* it is about the messages that they don't like, but I have been able to reproduce it reliably - it will always stop on the same message.
Apart from telling them to change to better email software and/or different virus scanning software the only "solution" is to delete the offending message via a webmail interface.
IMHO it's not a qpopper bug or problem at all...

I've seen it happen to a user with _one_ message in the inbox and 1% quota.
The quickest fix is to zero the mailbox or go into it with Pine or a similar local spool reader and kill the offending message there.
