Ron - Thanks for your quick response. I tried deleting pop3uidl.dbx, but it
didn't do the trick. I closed OE and reopened it after the deletion, which
wasn't actually part of your instructions, so perhaps this is why. Galen's
suggestion worked for me though. I appreciate your help.

Close OE.

OK
NOTE: in XP the dbx files may be hidden, in My Computer, Tools, Folder
Options, View tab, check Show hidden files.
Delete pop3uidl.dbx
