I have a bit of odd pop3 problem.  Just one of
my email clients is reporting a problem with
Outlook and pop3.  Spefically he has sent
Outlook to leave mail on the server up to 5 days.
The problem is after several weeks mail older
than 5 days is no longer deleted from server.
In order to delete mail I have hime momentary set
Outlook not save mail on server.  After the mail
is deleted and the option to leave 5 days
of mail on server is turned back on,everything
works OK for several weeks. Anyone else
have same problem?

I am using cyrus v2.1.11 running on NetBSD 1.6
installed via "pkg" collection.
