Unfortunately, upgrading to 2.3 isn't quite possible. This is a rather 
high-volume production environment.

Also, I suspect that all the complaints I get from IE users about 
getting dumped to the login window when trying to download attachments 
are linked to the same kind of problem. I have a lot of these "ERR 
INUSE" messages in the syslog.

I confirm that this is qpopper-specific. UW ipop3d has different locking 
semantics and the newly opened session will kill the first one (not a 
good idea IMHO -- qpopper is right on this).

So, well... "the wonders of open-source"... I'll probably try to fix 
this one myself and submit patches.

I have one more question anyway: Netscape clearly doesn't provide all 
the form parameters when reloading the main windows. OK. Booo to 
Netscape. But what's the point having a session ID if IMP can't find the 
context back using this ID (which is returned by Netscape in the 
cookie)?
