It downloads all but the last message?

Did you do this as I suggested?

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

If it still doesn't download the last message, it could be a corrupt
message. Access your mail through your ISP's Website and read the message
and delete it.

I am new to this, sorry I started a new thread. Thank you for the
instructions...I did what you said, and you said it would do it once more
then it should be ok. the problem now is, it will not download the last
message....it disconnects after five minutes of downloading one (the last)
message. Now what....
Thanks Bruce for your help

once.

Close OE and this is how you find the message store. Delete any file that
is
named Pop3uidl.

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put the
location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise,
write
the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must
enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder
Options
Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.

Bruce, do I delete the pop file by going to search, finding it and
deleteing
it?

I have deleted the pop3dbx file and that got rid of 45 messages, but
now
I am
starting over with duplicated emails. What is the pop3 bak file?
should
I
delete that too, or what can I do to stop this madness.
