Using Outlook 2003 retrieving POP mail and connected to the Internet with
ADSL. I face a problem when downloading mail from my main mailbox. Quite
often there are a large number of e-mails in the box perhaps as many as 100
for 200 and the downloading of the e-mail fails after about 10% of the
e-mails have downloaded. The first 10% downloads quickly and then I get the
following error message
Task 'mailsvr.myisp.com - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The
connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues,
contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The
server responded: +OK 1406 octets follow.'

When I tried to download the e-mails again, the same e-mails download as
downloaded before and it fails again. I use a small utility called Magic
which enables me to login to the server and delete all the e-mails manually
but the same problem occurs again when I go back to checking my e-mail the
next day using outlook.

I have contacted my ISP but they say that there is nothing wrong their end.
All other aspects of Internet connectivity work just fine. I am using
Norton antivirus 2004 if this has any bearing on the matter.
 
Did you find a solution to your problem? This is happening to me frequently.
For some reason Outlook insists on downloading all 150 messages over and
over, even if it successfully downloads the first 50 every time. Just working
on the problem is giving large numbers of multiple copies. (Entourage on the
Mac does not do this, interestingly.)

Now I also have some messages that no longer exist on the server and I can't
figure out how to get rid of the headers either.
