But Laurent... this is really bad news! If you of all people don't hit the 
problems while being the last one standing of the devs with POP3... how are we 
going to reproduce??? ;-)

Now to the more serious note...

The other lead I had in mind was more on the maildir side than POP3 in itself 
(just that when you use one the other one is there). Because for the case of 
the colleague I described when he tried to import the preexisting collection 
of mails it just choked and died. He had performances issues, data losses and 
so on before. So it might be something in the data there since after all it 
was the only state he was carrying over from the old machine.

So I guess this could be hiding in any of those parts...

Regards.
