I'm having a problem with Outlook not pulling the mail
off my pop server. When I do a send and receive the mail
is identified, "grabs" the messages like it's doing a
download but when it reaches the end I'm getting an
unknown error message.

Any thoughts?
 
1) First, try to set up Outlook Express to download the email set.
Sometimes it has better luck.

2) Another way is to clear the queue manually.

This is technical, and not really recommended by anyone, but you may
have a stuck message...

Telnet to get it... (this method permanently deletes messages before
you can read them at all.)
telnet mail.isp-host-name-fill-it-in-here.net 110
USER username
PASS password
LIST
-If you have a quick eye, you can attempt to view a message in its raw
form by RETR 1. RETR 2, etc. (If you know how many messages you've
already received, start deleting.)-
DELE 1
DELE 2
-(and so on)-
QUIT
This does permanently delete messages, so try Outlook Express download
first.
