I know it because in the company I work for there are people that use Outlook with 'leave messages on server' enabled. The thing seems to work nicely, and their Mailboxes are in their HOME directories, where qpopper has the ability to read/write/delete or mess around with their Mailbox files in any manner it sees fit. I don't think this is an Outlook problem, but it definitely makes sense to assume that it's a permissions problem that is stoppig qpopper from modifying the Mailbox file in some manner. - giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
