I've just tried to run tpop3d on my server and have a weird problem.
When somebody uses MS Outlook 2002 (from MS Office XP), tpop doesn't 
delete mails (sometimes).

Here is a tcpdump from the outlook connection:
time,    packet
0.00     <SYN>
0.19     <ACK>
0.39     USER ....
0.60     PASS ....
0.83     STAT
1.03     UIDL
1.42     <ACK>
1.64     LIST
2.02     <ACK>
2.23     RETR 1
2.62     <ACK>
2.90     QUIT
2.90     <FIN, ACK>
2.90     <SYN>
3.11     <RST>
3.11     <ACK>
3.35     USER ....
3.56     PASS ....
3.78     STAT
4.01     UIDL
4.33     <ACK>
4.55     DELE 1
4.76     QUIT
4.96     <FIN, ACK>

Result: Mail number 1 is still in mailbox. tpop haven't deleted this
email. Here is the part of syslog:

Hmm.. Only one connection logged? Strange for me.
