11k got in , when my dumb email user, chose not to delete the mails from the server after popping them. and now he tells me that the mail client is hanging due to a high volume of email.
i dont know, how to use mutt. and after i use mutt, will be able to download the remaining email using my email client ? and there is no set pattern :-(.. so i guess, the only way is to delete all his mails, if nothing works. any other ideas?
