Jeff... Yes...you are correct. Using Entourage on OS X results in these problems, however, using Evolution (on Linux) I do not have the problem.
When I connect with Entourage I get this in my maillog: ---- Mar 6 13:41:44 mail dbmail/pop3d[995]: pop3_handle_connection(): error, uncomplete session ---- However, when connecting from Evolution I get this: ---- Mar 6 13:44:12 mail dbmail/pop3d[996]: pop3_handle_connection(): user jason logging out [messages=0, octets=0] ---- The strange this is that the account has one message in it. Using Entourage it retrieves that one message and all looks fine. Same thing on Evolution. But with Entourage I get the 'error' in the logs and the message is not marked for deletion. With Evolution all works fine. Any ideas what would cause this? I'm a bit of a mail server newbie...so bear with me please!
