Deleting 2 consecutive msgs...

[giomau@mate.polimi.it]

Hello all,

I found some strange behaviour on my installation of HORDE-IMP-
POP3 server about deleting messages, so I tried with the demo 
server at http://demo.horde.org/stable/horde/imp/ (and then pointing 
again to the same pop3 server as before). I obtained the same 
strange behavior.

Suppose you have 3 msgs in your INBOX (the only folder permitted 
by POP3 protocol).

Now read the first one and then cancel it without coming back to 
the inbox. Everything is OK: msg 1 will be canceled and the 
content of msg 2 bill be displayed

Now read msg2 and then delete it: bad! Msg 2 will remain on the 
screen and msg 3 (which you never read!) will be deleted!
 
This way, you lose a message you never read! Your users will not 
be happy when they discover this kind of behaviour.

It seems something goes wrong during the deletion of two 
consecutive messages, without coming back to the inbox folder.

Has anyone using a POP3 server find the same bahovoiur?
Any idea and/or workaround (beside that of avoiding two 
consecutive cancellations...) ?

Thx,
Giovanni Mauri
