A POP3 server will delete the mails after the QUIT has been issued. Each mail that is deleted gets flagged for deletion, but the delete never occurs until after QUIT is issued. So if something interrupts before the QUIT, the mail will stick on the server. ,----- [ DELE command - RFC 1939 ] | The POP3 server marks the message as deleted. Any future reference | to the message-number associated with the message in a POP3 command | generates an error. The POP3 server does not actually delete the | message until the POP3 session enters the UPDATE state. `----- - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQA/AwUBPgDGpiuD6BT4/R9zEQKasACcDemKT6C4qALhvpH8AxcIvaKqAnsAmweR D1ToSF99O6aF1RcI5uCt6YO+ =PezZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBTECH" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
