If e-mail is stored in "folders" that will only count as one directory
entry in the MAIL directory, because the "folder" is a separate
sub-directory.
If you have more mail on your ISP's POP3 server than your system can
address, I'd wager that the system would stop downloading once the file
can't be copied to your HDD.
Normally, however, if you had that much mail on your ISP's mail server,
you would have exceeded any limit the server software set on storage
used for mail anyway.<G>
What to do if the download of mail aborts because no more files can be
written? Clean out the mail directory ... maybe get rid of all the
useless copies of mail you sent but never deleted or moved for the last
six months? [If you haven't needed to refer to it in 6 months, it's not
likely you ever will need to.] If you really need to keep snt messages,
either move them into the appropriate folder or make a separate folder
for them and move them enmass to free up directory entries in your main
mail directory.
