Outlook 2003 (and I suppose Entourage too) doesn't handle Dovecot's 
default POP3 UIDLs well. You should probably change them if you can. 
That may have caused this bug as well.

   # Note that Outlook 2003 seems to have problems with %v.%u format 
which is
   # Dovecot's default, so if you're building a new server it would be a 
good
   # idea to change this. %08Xu%08Xv should be pretty fail-safe.
