Mailbox is locked by POP server

[patrick]

I'm also getting this sometimes with some of our customers. I suspect
it does have something to do with the client, as one person is using
Eudora and the other is using Outlook Express. But regardless, the
server should be able to cope with these and unlock the mailbox after
the connection has been dropped. So far, the only way I've found to
cure it is to restart the server which is really not ideal.
