I have discovered a problem when using Xmail with POP and Webmail. I have had this problem using different webmail software, including: -Horde -Ilohamail -umpl_xmail -dwmail
Since the problem occurs in so many different types of software, it may be something with Xmail, and it may be something with POP. The Problem: When you click to view an email, from your webmail inbox, the wrong email is shown. When you click to delete an email, from your webmail inbox, the wrong email is deleted. How to generate the problem: -Have a few emails in your inbox, log into your webmail and list out your inbox. -From another window, or Outlook, or somewhere else, send yourself an email. -Wait a minute or so to let your server process the email. -Click on an email in your inbox. If the wrong email shows up, you have created the same error as me. OR, delete an email in your inbox. If the wrong email is deleted you have experienced the same problem. What causes the problem: It seems like an index problem. Lets say you have three emails in your inbox. Each email will have a link on it so that you can click in to view that email, something like this: My Inbox view.php?id=1 Email From Bob view.php?id=2 Email From Mary view.php?id=3 Email From Ted Now pretend that as you are viewing your inbox, Jill sends you an email. Before you refresh your inbox, you decide to click on the Email From Mary to view it. Instead, you will be seeing the email from Bob. How come? It's because the indexes have shifted. If you go back to your inbox, it will be something like this: My Inbox view.php?id=1 Email From Jill view.php?id=2 Email From Bob view.php?id=3 Email From Mary view.php?id=4 Email From Ted Now you see why clicking on the email with an index of 2 brought up Bob's email rather than Mary's. This is a way oversimplified version of the problem, as the indexes are generally not in order (but they can be). Has anyone else noticed anything similar, or am I alone out there? Any suggestions? I don't really want to go to IMAP, too intensive on resources. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
