Change history

Fixed a problem with the legacy POP server where it would incorrectly tell
the POP client that there were 0 messages in the folder when it got an error
opening the folder. This would cause the client to re-download all messages
in the folder once it was able to open it. The behavior has been changed to
return an error message instead. (D/E 10029) [OpenVMS only]
Installation

ownership & security/access as the previous version. Replace the
installed image and restart the server:
