As Neil Christie <neil () fissure net> pointed out in private email is this the fault of Outlook and not Qpopper. Here is what he had to say: The POP3 RFC suggests that duplicate UIDLs are acceptable for example in the situation that there are two identical copies of 1 message in a mailbox. As such the fault is with Outlook etc in failing to handle this as opposed to in qpopper for generating / allowing them. Whether the POP server should accept incoming UIDL headers in the message or always generate its own is another issue.
