All that I can suggest when you encounter the problem the next time, would
be to telnet to the mail server involved. It's possible it's a server
glitch since I'm not familiar with POP.viewmark at all.

Try using Telnet to check your Inbox at the server:

Go to start/run and type the following:
telnet {pop3 server name} 110 - hit enter, don't type the brackets.
user {your username} - hit enter
pass {your password} - hit enter

There are various commands available:

list (will return all messages)
retr (whatever number will retrieve that message)
dele (+ number will delete that number message)
