Re: Bug in Mail::Transport::IMAP4

I have hit this problem too. Applying your fix seemed to stop it from
happening, but revealed a lot of similar errors[1].

However, I am really only trying to use IMAP because a script that was
working fine and was connecting to a pop3 server, has now stopped
working. It now gives these error messages :

ERROR: Server at mail1.company.com:110 does not seem to be talking POP3.
ERROR: Cannot create POP3 client for
pop3://[email protected]@mail1.company.com:110.
WARNING: Folder does not exist, failed opening pop3 folder
pop3://[email protected]@mail1.company.com:110.
Could not open pop3 mailbox:Connection reset by peer at
./processEmail.pl line 53.

However, if I configure Mozilla Thunderbird to use the same settings, it
works fine.

Does anyone have any clues on how to debug this?

Max.
