[pmmail-list] problem with deleting messages from server

[Robert Gammon]

Brandon,
   I too have seen the problem.  Unlike most of the others, I am 
using OS/2.  When the problem e-mail hits, I would have anywhere 
from 5 to 50 e-mails to download.  Now that I am on a DSL 
connection, I do not believe that I have seen the problem.  As 
was mentioned by others, I too went to the web mail service and 
deleted the offending message to get a successful download.  As 
best as I can recall, the offending messages were bigger than 
average, but not necessarily megabytes in size.
