As long as I use it now (several weeks) the Netpas script to fetch mail
headers only (and delete spam at the POP3 server) works quite pretty.

I've just set up a slightly improved version at the URL:
==> www.inti.be/hammer/playnet/autopop4.zip

One among my various e-ccounts, however, has a really strange behaviour:

After a first log-on, with getting the "list" of stored mails there and
doing this and that, the volumes of the (remaining) mail items are
increased each by 10 bytes. After a second/consecutive logon to that
server, _OR_ after a time lapse (difficult to find out how long), yet
another volume increase of 1 byte is done there for those mail items
which had been left at the server. _Sometimes_, apparently after a long
enough intervall between log-ons, 11 bytes have been added to the volume
of each remaining item.  Only from a third (or even fourth) logon on will
mails left at the server be shown with a stable indication of their
volume in the "list" of mails stored.

Not one of the other POP3 servers I can check (at five different hosts)
does ever show anything like that.

Would anyone have an explanation ? (The ISP in question doesn't.)
