[Dovecot] Severe pop3 incompatibility report
Hello,
According to our experiences, most recent dovecot incompatible with eudora pop3 client
- eudora (5.1, 6), pop3, 'leave on server' enabled: the clients receive the full inbox *every time* they check the inbox on the server.
[Users using other MUAs experienced the same once, at switching from uw-pop3d/imapd to dovecot.]
That is absolutely devastating, especially for home users behind a modem line. We spent a full week with trying to find a workaround with eudora: no avail. The only solution remained was to revert back to uw-pop3d. :-(
Best wishes, Jozsef Kadlecsik

does the UID of the messages always change using the Dovecot POP3 server ? (using UIDL)

How could we have checked it? There is no raw log possibility for pop3 in dovecot, only for imap. And the traffic is over SSL.
Best regards, Jozsef

you can use openssl :
openssl s_client -connect host:port
