[tpop3d-discuss] tpop3d and Eudora problem

[Marc Lewis]

We have only seen two other POP daemon that correctly handles Eudora's
"overlapping commands", cucipop and qpopper, both mbox only POP daemons,
and only one of those is still actively maintained.  We normally just tell
people to turn off "Use overlapping commands" (or something like that) in
Eudora, and then there are no more problems.
