Re: [JIRAH / PROD] Problem retrieving a message from a POP3 server

Hello.

I won't be able to give you access to our mail servers or setup a test 
server.

I have Ethereal traces of the communication between the application and 
the POP3 server.

Perhaps it will help you see the problem more precisely.


One trace was made using Sun javamail.




The other one using GNU mail :





What did you mean by "I recommend you use the RI". What is the RI ?



Thanks in advance for your help.

I might be able to work around the problem if I had a Lotus Notes 
server or a Microsoft server to test against, but I don't. It seems 
likely that your server is including additional empty response lines 
for some reason. This is not spec compliant: see

   http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1939.txt

section 3.

If you were willing to set up a test server with external access, and 
give me valid credentials for it, I could test this hypothesis and 
perhaps come up with a patch for GNU JavaMail. Otherwise I recommend 
you use the RI, which will be published under GPL shortly.
