1595 1596 Stock fetchmail will work with a Maillennium POP3/PROXY server… but 1597 this server will truncate “TOP” responses after 64 – 82 kB (we have 1598 varying reports), in violation of Internet Standard #53 aka. RFC-1939 1599 (POP3). Don’t mistake this for a fetchmail bug. (Reported July 2003.) 1600 Comcast documented they haven’t understood what this is about in two 1601 messages from April 2004. 1602 1603 Beginning with version 6.3.2, fetchmail will fall back to the RETR 1604 command if the greeting string contains “Maillennium POP3/PROXY 1605 server”, and print a warning message. This means however that fetchmail 1606 has no means to prevent the “seen” flag from being set on the server 1607 (Note that officially, POP3 has no notion of seen tracking, but it 1608 works for some sites.) 1609 1610 Workaround for older versions: use the fetchall option.
