Re: How to check number of messages using Net::POP3?

Are you sure it's not timing out? I remember having a weird problem like that a long time ago. It was a program that fed off a pop box. If it ran too long it would time out the connection.

Timing out is unlikely, since a POP3 daemon "MAY have an inactivity autologout timer, but such a timer MUST be of at least 10 minutes' duration". Then again, there are always RFC-disobedient BOFHs :( -- b10m	[reply]

Yes. If I do this, I see the server closing down the connection before the message prompts.	[reply]
