I use pop almost every day and it : truncates the mailbox just fine! Telnet to the pop server manually, delete a message in the middle, and quit. Check the mailbox to see if the message has been deleted. (Ain't "chatty" protocols wunnerful?) It is always important to isolate client vs. server bugs in client-server systems. ;^) I've been working with a recent version of popper on FreeBSD 1.1, and now with the "qpop" package for FreeBSD 2.0 from the CD-ROM, and have not encountered this problem at all.
