If you never complete downloading all the existing e-mail messages from a POP3 mail
server, the next time it will start over from the beginning and send the messages that you
may already have. This is by design of the POP3 mail protocol. As a fail safe, the server
always assumes on a lost connection that the mail client crashed and lost all messages
from that download.
You may be able to use Telnet to look at your server mail box and optionally get rid of
any problem message. You can find these Telnet instructions at
http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/pop3telnet.htm
Or your mail service may offer a web interface that would allow you to delete the problem
message. If not, you might be able to use http://www.mailstart.com for this function (if
your ISP allows outside access to their POP3 mail server).
