POP3 STAT command broken (race condition?)

Hi,

4x POP3 over SSL. I login manually using SSL client and issue STAT
command - all work.

Claws-mail works for one account persistently, the other three always
fail. There are no differences between the accounts other than
username/pass so I have been unable to determine why this occurs. Also,
Evolution works as it uses LIST not STAT.

Claws reports:

[12:30:40] POP< +OK
[12:30:40] POP> PASS ********
[12:30:40] POP< +OK Logged in.
[12:30:40] POP> STAT
[12:30:40] POP< -ERR Unknown command: 
*** error occurred on POP session
*** Error occurred while processing mail.

Perhaps there's a race between logging in and issuing commands? 

Andrew
