Hi Timo,

Thanks for the quick reply.

> Are you sure the UIDLs are the problem? Did you connect to old and new POP3 server and compare their UIDL lists?

No not 100% sure that the UIDLs are the issue; but running into dead ends with what I have tried.
I will compare the UIDL lists from the old / new server and report back.

The new server is a completely different host and currently had a different IP, but it will end up with the same name and IP as the existing host when we cut over.
At this time I have manually adjusted my lost hosts file to point towards the new host for testing.

Would this be a problem even though the IMAP appears to be working were as the POP is not.??

I'll report back on the UIDLs

Regards,
Steven
