Message Id Is Screwing Up Blackberry Pop3 Server

[ptaylor2]

Should the message id for each individual message remain the same. When I telenet to the server type list then UIDL or ULDL it gives me one mesage id for that mesage, then when I disconnect and reconnect to the server its giving a different mesage id # for the same message.

Like this

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st time telneting to the pop3 server

UIDL
+OK 1
1 1237438011373.2846456720.af.taylorassociate.com
.
2nd time telnet to the pop3 server

1 1237438097273.2829671312.b1.taylorassociate.com

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blackberry told me in order to make the blackberry devices to work on the pop3 mail server that the message id for each message has to remain the same. How can I do this please?

Thanks

Hi Ptaylor2

I dont think the Xmail server Can change the messages ID after
its been deposited in the users mailbox.

I tried a few times on my server, logging in through telnet
and getting a list of emails with uidl ( uldl is not valid ) and then
logging out and logging back in.

Try this:
run your same test, write down the message id for message 1
then `retr 1` and write down the from/to/subject

wait a minute and do that again. is it the same message with different ID ?
or are your messages disappearing, and your seeing different ID's because
they are different emails?

you could also try `list` instead of uidl and write down the message sizes.
are they changing?

What's the content of /var/MailRoot/message.id ? It may contain a single number only. I had very strange behavior when the files content was invalid ("-b 12345" instead of "12345")
Does it even exist?
Create a backup of your /var/MailRoot and chmod -R 777 it. Restart Xmail. Does it work now? (Remember to restore your backup!)
Any error messages in /var/messages?
