You are making assumption that are not true. But sure, if you want to do it in your code, just make UsrPOP3Lock() and UsrPOP3Unlock() inside UsrUtils.cpp be NOOP. I don't think it's really dangerous unless users do something silly like delete mails from both clients. Dovecot's POP3 defaults to this behaviour, in fact: http://wiki.dovecot.org/POP3Server I don't use that POP3 server though because it would waste resources while my mails are all in maildirs with CR+LF and all mail is always deleted. But thanks for the info, I will patch. Cheers, Sabahattin ___ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail

[xmail] Disable POP3 Locking
