E-mail probs.

[beekae]

When downloading mail into my Inbox,it hangs on message 64 of 200ish.
It waits and waits,then gives up.

This prevents me from receiving any subsequent mail.

Can I view or delete this particular message.

Running XP,Outlook Express.

Cheers.

Funny you should mention this because I'm currently experiencing a similar problem with an email account my webhost is, er, hosting.

You might be able to use Mailwasher (from here) or something similar to delete the offending email(s).

I wonder what's causing the problem though...

How about trying to change the timeout?

Are you runing an antivirus program like norton as I had a similar problem like this and when I turned off norton protect just on the email. Then downloaded all the emails and then I turned norton back on before opening any.

That was it !!!

Turned off Norton Anti-Virus and Spamkiller,and all the craps now pouring into my Inbox.
I'll go clear it out and turn them back on again.Kinda defeats the purpose,eh !

Thx everyone for their help.
