dovecot - Nov 2004 - pop3d keeps downloading messages over and over again

Solaris 9
SunOS 5.9 Generic_117171-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
gcc version 3.3.2
dovecot-0.99.11

compile options:
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/ssl/include/openssl 
./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot --disable-ipv6 
--with-file-offset-size=32 --with-mem-align=4 --with-rawlog 
--with-ssl=openssl

OK, this applies whether or not a user account is set to leave mail on 
the server or not. There are several things that might happen, depending 
on who knows what:

1. Mail pops fine.
2. The "DO NOT DELETE THIS EMAIL" keeps downloading over and over
again.
3. All emails since the switch to this new test dovecot pop3d will be 
downloaded over and over again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Gordon Thagard

I'm going to answer my own question and say its because dovecot keeps 
mangling the mboxes. This is a critical bug. I hope that dovecot-1.0 is 
released soon. We would love to have a proper pop3 and imap daemon that 
supports mbox format. Is there any speculation whatsoever on a release 
date for v1.0?

Regards,
