i did not look at the imap code but i agree that it must be 
very similar. btw i run both imap and pop3 daemons, and the 
same problem arises with imap. I choosed to look at the pop 
code to debug this.

i'll check the documentation again to ensure that my options 
are set properly, and see if "maildir:" is missing, though i 
doubt that this could be the cause of my problems since when 
the directory is created, everything works well, thanks for 
pointing me on this though

currently looking at it, seems that i'll have to insert a 
sleep call just after pop3d's entry point ? Anyone can help 
? Timo, how do you debug your code ? ;-)
