POP3/Outlook Error
Hi,
I'm getting this issue regularly when users access their accounts via both webmail client and Outlook. The message from Outlook contained in the image attached, but reads:
"Your POP3 server is providing inconsistent information. The number of messages returned by the STAT command does not match the number of items returned by the UIDL or LIST commands."
When I run a telnet session, I get responses as follows:
UIDL
+OK unique-id listing follows
1 5
2 6
3 7
4 8
5 9
6 10
7 11

16 2
17 19
18 20
19 4
20 37

.
STAT
+OK 28 121546
What appears to be happening is that UIDL is returning the list of all messages in all mailbox folders, while the other commands are returning only those in the INBOX.
I'm not sure how to interpret the spec (it talks about a given "maildrop"), but since POP3 doesn't know about folders should UIDL only return the list of items in the INBOX?
Thanks,
Pat

Sorry -- It appears that UIDL is returning the correct response -- there ARE in fact 41 items in the INBOX.
