[Dovecot] pop3d keeps downloading messages over and over again

[Gordon Thagard]

I'm going to answer my own question and say its because dovecot keeps 
mangling the mboxes. This is a critical bug. I hope that dovecot-1.0 is 
released soon. We would love to have a proper pop3 and imap daemon that 
supports mbox format. Is there any speculation whatsoever on a release 
date for v1.0?

Regards,
