OK, my junk mailbox is showing one of these, dated 1/13/06 12:48 pm. As soon as I delete it, another one appears, same message and date. I have deleted about 20 so far and as soon as I delete one, another shows up in the mailbox. The mailbox only shows one message in it at a time.

I see these on a regular basis on my own accounts and on others' (I admin a mail system). My assumption is that they are malformed spam/virus attempts. Possibly just a check to see if it's a live mailbox.

The problem is that because they have malformed headers, your mail program can't properly download them and delete them from the server.


I have rebuilt the junk mailbox a couple of times to no avail.

Right.  It won't go away because it's still on the server.

You'll need to get something like Mail Siphon (shareware avail. at versiontracker.com) which will allow you to log in to the server and delete it from there.
