Re: Unable to delete massages using NSWM 0.10.2

Ok, my guess about QPopper, after some googling:
It's complex to configure, and some set of options could make the 
webmail not deleting mails in some circumstances.
QPopper apparently computes UIDL by doing a MD5sum of the mail 
headers... it can either do it each time you pop, or on the first time, 
and store it in an X-UIDL header.
Problem is that QPopper can also compute UIDL based on the MD5sum and a 
random string.
Another problem is that QPopper also support the Status/X-Status headers.
So if you choose to compute UIDL each time you read your mail, and 
enable support for the Status/X-Status headers, what will happen is that 
users will read email (and such generating the Status/X-Status headers), 
and afterwards, when they try to delete it, the UIDL would have changed 
(since they would be involved in computing the MD5sum).

So my suggestion: if you decide to stay with QPopper, enable storing of 
the computed UIDL inside the message's header, it should work in any case.

Well, i'm reading all this just through the mailing lists, so i could be 
badly wrong... Just hope this helps.
