had the exactly same problem one or two weeks ago - one message of 81
was "defect".
The problem is, it downloads the message, then brings an alert and after
this moz stops downloading the further messages on the server and to
delete the yet-downloaded ones. So you can't solve this problem with
Mozilla, so I tried to use Netscape 4.7 but - the same problem occured :-(
=> Does this mean, the mail protocol code is the used in Mozilla is
the same used in NS 4.x?
The only way to solve the problem for me, was to delete the mails from
the server with other tools and when you say, you could download the
mail with OE a bug should be filed.
Regards,
Niko!
