Jeremy: I just checked the option to delete messages on the server after downloading. I got a pop alert telling me all read messages will be permanently deleted. When I think about it, I unplugged my laptop from the cable modem and hooked up my iMac and every message I had ever received with my pop account loaded into the imac's Outlook account. They all were sitting out there on the server. Maybe this is resolved? Thanks Jeremy and Laurent for your responses. I still find it odd that the quota message came into my inbox without an address displayed.
