Hi Mark,

Qpopper doesn't write "X-UID" lines.  Maybe the IMAP server is doing 
this?  Even so, I'm not sure why there would be a difference between 
4.0 and 4.1.

When you say users couldn't pop their mail until you deleted the 
X--UID and X-UIDL lines, what was happening?

Would it be possible for you to reproduce the problem with Qpopper tracing?

To enable tracing in Qpopper in standalone mode:

1.  Do a 'make clean'
2.  Re-run ./configure, adding '--enable-debugging'.
4.  Add '-t <tracefile-path>' to the command line for Qpopper.

This causes detailed tracing to be written to the file specified as 
'tracefile-path'.
