Since upgrading to Hardy, all of the available 'battery' applets
report that my battery is at 0% charge. If I unplug the mains, the
battery light turns from green to orange to signify discharging, as I
would expect, and always has done previously. The charge indicators
report that it is still at 0%

provide POP3 accounts. I have a need to share a POP3 mailbox between
multiple users (specifically support@). We have recently installed a
