I have also had this problem using another pop3 account. I don't think it
matters which server it comes from, Mindspring, my own web site (hosted by
HostSave, etc). I only used Netscape to try and fetch the mail because KMail
didn't work. After finding out that Netscape failed, even after I deleted
the whole mail box, I was confused then, and tried Outlook Express. Also, I
kept my Netscape mail folder in a different location. I don't mean to shoot
any ideas down, I am just hoping to get some more feedback.
Thanks.
