i got error when downloading the email using pop. the message is "The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving a message. Mail server responded: ity: 3 (Normal)

The "ity: 3 (Normal)" looks as if it's part of a "Priority: 3 (Normal)" header, which would mean that something really messed up the POP3 stream. I haven't before heard of anyone having this kind of a problem with Dovecot .. Is it possible that you have a firewall or something else in the middle that could modify the traffic?

yes u right something cut the stream package. the account is pop using winXP client with antivirus installed, after that i try to pop on linux client i got same error message. the antivirus is cut the stream package. running well after disable mail check on the antivirus and delete the uid-list on server.

For the record, which Antivirus was causing this? Same on Windows and Linux client?? Or was this running on the server?

i'm using untangle gateway. untangle has function to scan pop3 stream package for viruses. this error happen sometimes only.
