Sometimes, when the POP3 | box is locked, qpopper will respond with a message (don't know number | which and can't replicate from here) saying to try again later. The number is not particularly relevant except within qpopper, but this is otherwise normal behaviour for a locked drop. | Yesterday during the normal POP3 collection run this message was | reproduced by the fetchmail process in the minibuffer, and I was asked if | I wished to continue or not (yes/no.) I don't know what I typed, but I | then lost POP3 mail, and some other mail which had not come through POP3 | wasn't registered properly in the appropriate NOV database. I use | fancy-split. The missing POP3 mail wasn't in the Incoming.* files. In | fact I have lost it permanently :-( What do you mean by "lost"? If pop3 cannot open the drop because it is locked, it cannot do anything at all to the drop. If you continue, it tells Gnus to skip that method, so again there is nothing being done on your end as far as the POP server is concerned. Are you *sure* the mail is not still sitting on the server somewhere? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.0g (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE4VnhPgl+vIlSVSNkRAtyyAKDetmGwD1Qfot1lAoMQtMr2FcQtmwCeICwY Z5N6uLRDpgWoLtv+ighN18U= =bwxh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Warning: pregnant women, the elderly, and Minion of Nathan - Nathan says Hi! \ children under 10 should avoid prolonged PGP Key: at a key server near you! \ exposure to Happy Fun Ball.
