Summary: Fetching mail not always happens

Initial Comment:
I'm using the Opera 7.50 mail client in combination with 
the Spambayes proxy. I notice that Opera is not always 
fetching e-mails although there are e-mails waiting at my 
ISP.
I have 4 account divided over 2 ISP and it happens with 
all 4 of them but never together. It's a very irregular 
pattern.
When I change the e-mail configuration to fetch e-mails 
directly from the ISP instead of passing the proxy, there 
is no problem at all. So, I assume there is a problem with 
the Spambayes proxy.

I also tried the Mozilla e-mail client Thunderbird and I 
have the same problems there. So, it isn't related to 
Opera alone.

Before that, I always used the Outlook plug-in and never 
had a problem.

Any ideas ?

Kind regards,
Jos.

Sorry guys but it seems I overlooked something. Added 
another log (found in the command line window) with clearly 
some errors.
I hope this can clearify something.

New log added.
This time only one account activated for spamfiltering. The 
other accounts retrieve their mail directly with no problem.
So, even with one account the problem persists.

No errors in Opera nor Thunderbird nor anywhere else.
I will set only one account to pass through the filter and send 
another log. Perhaps it's more clear to read then.

Yes, it is hard to read with the two accounts (three at the
top) intermixed.  It definately does see that there are 14/3
messages, and gets the uidl for each.  Then the log ends
with two "REPR 1" commands (I presume one for each account).
 The log should then have the REPR responses (the whole body
of the message, but the octet count), which it doesn't.

I'm not sure why the log stops, though - I can't see how it
would stop without some error occuring.  Do you get any
error in the log?  Or any error in Opera?  (like a timeout,
or something?)

No, as I want to use Opera to be my primary mail client, I 
don't leave the messages on the server.
But I have the same problem with the Mozilla e-mail client 
which is configured to leave the messages on the server.

Do you have Opera configured to leave messages on the 
server? I'm only so-so at reading POP3 logs, especially with 
the two accounts intermixed, but this is what it looks like to 
me:

1. successful log in to acct be35926
2. stat command reports 14 total messages
3. mail client downloads the list of identifiers for the 14 
messages
4. client assumedly determines that all of the listed identifiers 
have been previously downloaded so it doesn't download them 
again

See the attach file. There are indeed messages waiting but 
they aren't fetched.
It's funny but it always happens with the same accounts.

It would be very odd if this was the proxy - all it does is
proxy (i.e. directly pass the commands through), unless it's
doing a RETR (or sometimes TOP) command, when it classifies
the message.  To not fetch the messages, I presume that the
mail client is getting back a 0 response from the LIST,
which is just proxied.

If you set the [globals]verbose option to True ('-o
globals:verbose:True' on the command line should do, or in
your bayescustomise), then you should get a _pop3proxy.log
file created that logs the POP3 conversation.  Could you do
that and attach a copy here that covers a time when this
happens?  (Check the log for any confidential data; I can't
remember what it does with username/passwords).
