the problem that i am facing is that i cant get all the messages from my POP3 folder, if the no. of messages is small then i get all the messages but as it exceeds 20(or something around it) i only get the last few messages, i m using Mail::Box module and am using the following code 
my $mgr = new Mail::Box::Manager;

my $pop = $mgr->open(type => 'pop3',folder => '/' ,username => $userna
+me, password => $password ,server_name => $serveraddress ,server_port
+ => $serverport,  access => 'rw' ) or die("Cant open account");

my $count = scalar $pop->messages;

print $count;

now, if i have 25 messages then only 2 or 3 messages are returned and it appears as if the manager cant see the first few messages
