I've just started seeing an error with dbmail-pop3d from 1.0-RELEASE. When checking an account with sylpheed I received a "socket error" (internal program description), and it could not receive mail. Upon sending outgoing mail with the same account, it somehow relieves the problem, and I can once again check mail with the username.
This occurred after no use overnight, upon first checking the account this morning, and again this afternoon after not checking for an hour or so.
