With the pop2 server as supplied with the LifeLine mail program (part of
pc-nfs) it is possible to read (and delete) a random mailbox on the server.

The bug is that one can connect (with helo) without a passwd. The idea was that
this only should be used to detect the presence of mail; but with a following
fold command one can read any mailbox on the server. My fix is to go back
to the initial state (state 0) after the mail check.

To fix this bug, apply the patch below.

PS note that also several return 0; statements need to be added at the end of
   some functions. lint(1) should help!
