It didn't take me that long to fix the problems... I had problems running qpopper and the qpopper source was totally unreadable by me... I fixed the problems that plaged berkly pop (includes 2.0)... the port is in incoming if you want to look at it.. what the main problem with Berkly popper is that it wasn't truncicating the mail file... didn't take much to fix... I have been the only one to test it that I know of... it would be nice to know if it works on other systems...
