Hi, Ive been using a script to retrieve messages & process them, & delete messages ok.. it works fine, Im now transfering the code over to a new script.... however it now gets the message correctly, But it refuses to delete the message afterwards. Is there a 'debug' thing for pop3 commands ? a summary of commands i'm using are :- 

use Net::POP3;

# This debug flag will print debugging code to your browser, depending
+ on its value 
# Set this to 1 to send debug code to your browser.  Set it to 0 to tu
+rn it off. 
my $DEBUG = 1; 

if($DEBUG) 
{ 
   $| = 1; 
   open(STDERR, ">&STDOUT"); 
} 

# Set this variable to your POP3 server name 
my $ServerName = "my.server.com";

# Create a new POP3 object 

my $pop3 = Net::POP3->new($ServerName, Debug => 0) or die "Couldn't lo
+g on to server";

# Initiate the mail transaction 
my $UserName = "username";
my $Password = "password";

my $Num_Messages = $pop3->login($UserName, $Password); 

# Get the list of messages 
my $Messages; 
my $msg_id; 
$Messages = $pop3->list(); 

# Parse each message header for "From" and "Subject" fields 

foreach $msg_id (keys(%$Messages)) 
{ 

if ($msg_id <$end){
 next;
}

    my $MsgContent = $pop3->top($msg_id, 50); 

   PrintList($msg_id,@$MsgContent); 

my $delete = $pop3->delete($msg_id);

------------- END QUOTE MY WORDS :- ok, Printlist does the main processing of the message - & it works.. & ive verified that $msg_id is still correct - But it wont delete...

Ive even put the delete funcrtion immediatly after the message - eg :- 

 my $MsgContent = $pop3->top($msg_id, 50);
 my $delete = $pop3->delete($msg_id);
 PrintList($msg_id,@$MsgContent);

Even if I delete before it gets processed - It still processes the message, However it doesnt delete.

Can someone advise

Thankyou
