Hey all,

Someone I've been setting up an account for, kept getting the same mail
over and over again. Having questioned him about it, he said that he had
the 'keep mail on server' option in Outlook. (*sigh* why can't people
use _real_ MUA's) 

Then he said that *cyrus* was breaking the RFC since it wasn't supposed
to send mail that was already sent, because Outlook requests from the
last msgid.

I looked briefly at the RFC and didn't notice anything related to that,
except for a brief paragraph:

"...users and vendors of POP3 clients have discovered that the
combination of using the UIDL command and not issuing the DELE command
can provide a weak version of the "maildrop as semi-permanent
repository" functionality normally associated with IMAP."

Without starting a flame war about Outlook and MS, is there any truth in
his claims?

Thanks,

-j
