The webmail problem is probably the same one I had, and could possibly explain the downloading of old mail. The problem is that when you list the mail in your mail box, cucipop claims it is going to send you 9 bytes more than it acctually does. The web mail client I am using then times out waiting for the final 9 bytes. I have reported the problem this week, but have not recieved a response. The work around I have implemented is to subtract 9 from the expected number of bytes in the webmail software. > Anyone have any tips on this or understand a bit more how the UIDL feature > is implemented? Has anyone ever found a cucipop mailing list? As far as I can tell when you pay for the product you get added to the mailing list. Tim.
