I have to say that Marshall's previous messages don't impress me as having been based on a following of the previous conversation on the topic. The current POP3 spec is ambiguous with respect to the behavior upon dropped connections. Current widely-deployed POP3 servers do different things. The spec needs to be fixed one way or the other. None of the posters advocating that POP3 servers not remove deleted messages have addressed Steve Dorner's objections to that solution. Neither have those advocates given any technical arguments that I find convincing. And nobody has answered my previous query on the topic, posted May 26: John Gardiner Myers <jgm+@CMU.EDU> writes: > Does any client depend on messages *not* going away until an explict > QUIT? > > Does any client use RSET? -- _.John G.
