How to get server response with netty client?

POP server LIST produces incorrect byte count?

  • The POP RFC states that the LIST command should produce the proper byte count for the message, but Yahoo's POP server produces a count that is generally 3 or 5 bytes larger than the actually message size returned from the RETR command, or from the TOP command with a sufficient line count to get the whole message. Curiously, the response to the RETR command contains a comment that includes the correct byte count, but that is non-standard, and the mail program I use ignores it (although it has an option to log the activity). Having LIST produce the wrong count causes the mail client to think it hasn't yet downnloaded the whole message. It would be nice if this could be fixed, but I can't even find a place to report it to Yahoo, just to this Yahoo user community, who probably can't fix it. Sad.
