We're getting a lot more of these complaints as well as our ISP customers
start configuring email access on their phones and handhelds.

The solution for us has been to encourage customers to reconfigure both
devices (PC and phone) to use IMAP.

The POP3 standard (RFC 1939) requires each connection to obtain an
exclusive lock on a maildrop before continuing operations. It lacks the
proper semantics to handle simultaneous access to a mailbox.
