Thinking about it, I have a guess:
I use Norton Antivirus, but when I get infected mail from a specific
server (pop3.tiscali.dk) the connection breakes with a message like:

FETCH: Connection to host broken (last command sent were: "UIDL",
"RETR 1")

(the commands vary a bit)
It's an old account that pretty much only get virus and spam, so once
in a while I disable Nortons scanning of incomming mail, resulting in
that it blocks TheBat from writing the infected files to the disk.
The .tmp-files are actually empty, and can not be deleted untill
TheBat have been closed/restarted.

If TheBat just deleted all bat*.tmp files when it started, it should
solve many problems like this one.

The problem with broken connection and NAV is present with all mail
clients I've tried (e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird), so I guess it's a bug
in NAV.
Today I just canceled the problematic account, so for me there is no
problem anymore.
