[solved] claws-mail pop hanging on certain messages

Hi!

Anyone noticed something like this? Not entirely sure what's happening yet and what to do...

claws-mail seems to hang when trying to retrieve certain messages via pop3(ssl). If I remove a certain mail from the /cur folder on the server, all the other messages get pop'ed just fine (I'm not sure, if the mail that needs to be deleted is the same as the one where claws-mail hangs!). Thunderbird manages to "pop" all messages. I haven't been able to figure out, what kind of messages make claws-mail hang. Seems not to be content related though (I've have lots of identical ones, only a few trigger the bug) - and it's about one in 10 messages that cause the problem. Might be something with missing uidl's caused by the server spam filter - I could find the "buggy one" that made clawsmail hang in the filesize cache on the server, but not in the /cur directory.  But I might have messed that up...

Well, I'm stuck & my head hurts. Maybe more investigating tomorrow... -.-"

Had the same problem. POP3 with SSL hangs on receive. Went down to 3.7.5, no avail. I just read here (http://claws-mail.org/pipermail/users/2 … 04032.html) about gnutls and downgraded to cached 2.10.4-1 now it seems to work.

OK, can't hold the gnutls package any longer - quite a few programs, clawsmail among them, started complaining about the new version of the library missing. What now?
