[2.055] pop3 locking or multiple mail connection issues

Hi Mark,

Almost there.... there is still an odd issue with multiple logins for POP3 causing scripts that
log in mutliple times to fail as well as persistant script to not release a pop3 connection.

Between two runs, the only difference is the first user has nothing in his inbox, whereas the
second user has 100+ messages.	Notice the output differences in the POP3 server log:

The second user has many more messages, yet the calling script is the same.   Notice the
expected second login... it logs in as expected, but somewhere within Mail::Box::* a second
connection is made while the first is still open.  

This causes more interesting issues when used persistantly.... the extraneous connection is
never released. 

Any idea initially on where this is coming from?  I have sent in an email concerning this
previously (which has the same test script I'm still using to test with):

look into this, any additional information would be appreciated.


take care,
