dovecot - Oct 2005 - Problem with pop3 and alpha3

Hi all, I have a problem with dovecot-alpha3 and pop3 protocol (on a tru64
5.1a...)

In my Maildir/cur there are 8144 mails and if I use pop3 protocol I receive in
the output 8146 line instead of 8144. The problem is that 2 mails are
duplicated . The output of ?List? command is like:

1 51265
2 261783
.
.
.
2987 30291
2987 30291		(duplicated line)
2988 16631

.
4601 1231
4602 8921
4602 8921		(Another duplicated line)
4603 1313



I've deleted dovecot.* and dovecot-uidlist in the Maildir path but the
problem
remains.

Suggest? Is a bug?
I've tried also to remove the first 1000 messages but the problem now is on
the
mail number 2635 and not 1987 like I can think.

Is the client generating mail not found errors when this happens?  If so
it may be related to the problem I am seeing.

I don't know. I'm not tried with a real client but only with telnet.
I would like to be sure that everything is correct before try with
outlook/Eudora/thunderbird at all.

I noticed this actually myself also yesterday with IMAP's syncing. I
checked that the same problem didn't happen elsewhere in IMAP, but I
didn't think of POP3..

BTW. I think these problems explain two bugs:

1) The problem with Thunderbird deleting some message twice and Dovecot
giving error messages about it (I hope!)

2) When deleting lots of messages, the mailbox list going out of sync
with the actual messages.

Attached patch to POP3 bug. I'll also try to get alpha4 out soon.
