Hi there,

I have written a small script for our university to provide the students the possibility to read their eMail with a web based interface. I used the POP3Client.pm which you can find at cpan and everything works just fine. When I installed another small script (endymion mailman) - because I got problems with the attachments - I ran into the problem, that the message has vanished after I read it. I guess there is a possibility to change the server settings because I tried both scripts with another account and both of them worked without deleting any message. I would appreciate any help very much.

Regards

Niko

would have been easier if i had mentioned "mercury mail server"

if anyone runs into a similar problem:

you can create a file called pop3.pro, and place this file in the c:\SYSTEM path.

This file has a couple of configuration switches for the individual Mercury Mailbox:

Mark Read:Y
Show Read:Y
Show Status:Y
No Delete:N
Delete is final:N

I like to make sure that read mail is marked as read. Also, I don't necessairily want deleted mail to be actually deleted, at least until I log off from my email client. So, I put a N next to those 2 settings.

Regards

Niko
