[Dovecot] DELE before QUIT

[Davy Leon]

Hi

Thanks for the reply. Definitelly IMAP is not a solution for me. All the 
emails for my user's domain are stored in a single account on my ISP. I have 
to fetch them and distribute them locally. In every fetch there are several 
emails and every time the link fails I have to start over again for the 
forst message wich I already downloaded. Tha's a problem. Any other 
solution?

Thanks

David

Doing that would violate POP3 protocol specifications. I'm not really 
interested in doing such things. You could of course patch your Dovecot 
sources if you really wanted it.

Maybe your users should be using IMAP instead of POP3? Or configure mails to 
be kept on server so they wouldn't kept downloading duplicates?
