Hi all

I notice something is running wrong if you do this:

 1) Connect to your mercury32 mailbox throught a webmail IMAP4 (squirreImail for example) and read your e-mails so in that case all mail have the flag "read"

2) leave  the webmail IMAP4

3) Start outlook express for reading your e-mails - you notice that you don't have e-mails with the flag "read" (at this point everithing is normal you only forget to set the correct flag "unread" in the IMAP4 webmail)

4) leave outlook express

5) Start a webmail IMAP4 (squirreImail for example) and set the flag unread for all e-mails

6) leave  the webmail IMAP4

7) Start outlook express for reading your e-mails - unread mails are not coming into outlook express!!

 

I think the reason of this problem is the file "MERCURYP.CAC" this file only updated or created by the POP3 protocol and not updated by the IMAP4 protocol the only way I found is going on the mercury mail server and killing "MERCURYP.CAC" file.

This problem only occur on "new" release of mercury32. If you use an old release (a release without MERCURYP.CAC file) it's working perfectly.

Note 

My POP3.PRO file is

Mark read: Y
Show read: N
Show status : N
No delete : N
Delete is final : N

thank you for your support

sorry for my bad english!!
