I dont know if this will help but I got an email about an email issue that the CP3 is going through right now.

"When your pop3 client is fetching mail, it logs in with USER/PASS commands,
then does a LIST to see whats on the server.

A normal LIST when there are emails on the machine looks like this:

LIST
+OK 18 messages (37167 octets)

Followed by a listing of all the message numbers and their sizes.
IE,

1 800
2 560
3 470

Etc.
The end of the messages are signified with a period.

The problem with cppop, is that when there are no emails, it's still
returning a list of emails. IE, it looks like this:


+OK POP3 at [216.74.104.146]
USER example
+OK Need a password
PASS somepassword
+OK You have 0 messages totaling 0 octets from /home/example/mail/inbox
LIST
+OK 0 messages (0 octets)
1 0

QUIT
+OK Bye!

The line where it reads "1 0" is incorrect. There should be no line here. It
should just be:

+OK 0 messages (0 octets)

Hope it helps.
