Hi guys!

I just installed XMail (version 1.5, as I remember) an configured a POP3 link. As I want XMail to leave the messages on the POP3 server and just get a copy of them, I configured the authtype in pop3link.tab to "APOP, leave" (as written in the online documentation http://www.xmailserver.org/Readme.html#pop3links_tab).

Unfortunately XMail seems not to fetch a copy but "the original": XMail fetches the messages, but they seem to be deleted on the POP3 server. I am rather sure, that the POP3 server supports UIDL, because when I get my mails from the POP3 server with a "normal" mail-client, the fetched mails are left on the POP3 server (no, I don't use IMAP with my mail-client ;-) ).

Does anyone have an idea about what's going wrong? Which further information do you need for diagnostics?

Thanx a lot and greetings!

This requires at least XMail 1.25 .... Pls post your pop3links.tab.

Thanks for you answer! It seems, I only have XMail 1.22 installed. The version 1.5 I mentioned relates to the PHPXMail I have installed... Unfortunately there seems no newer version available since I run it on a Synology CubeStation 407 with BusyBox installed. The number of available pre-compiled packages is not yet that big (and maybe not really the newest versions available) and I am not sure whether I will be able to compile a newer version of XMail on my CubeStation...

Nevertheless, here is my pop3links.tab (for security reasons I replaced the values 1 - 5 with dummy values):

"localdomain.com" "localaccount" "popserver.externaldomain.com" "pop3account@externaldomain.com" "cryptedpasswd" "APOP,Leave"

"Leave" has no effekt with 1.22. Upgrade to 1.25 or use e.g. Fetchmail: http://fetchmail.berlios.de/
