No, sorry i have explained bad what is happened. The Client have
downloaded all the mail, without problems. Then, i have send to him a
mail for testing purpouse, and the error is happened. The client have
got an error like "can't do STAT command to mail server, connection
lost", the mail i have sended to him is deleted, and no mail was
recieved from the Client.
