Re: qpopper

[Bob Nielsen <nielsen@primenet.com>]

I've had a similar problem with qpopper on a P-150, so it is probably
not a function of architecture.  I tried deleting the lockfile on the
server, but as soon as I tried to retrieve the mail, it created a new
lockfile on the server and I get the same error.  I installed cucipop
(non-free, unfortunately) and the problem disappeared.
