If you have web access to the mailbox try to use that
interface and remove the message that hangs the retrieve--
if no messages retrieved it is probably the first message
in mailbox. Have seen multiple instances of a specific
EMail causing this sympton with different ISP's and
Clients--Outlook 2000,2002(xp) and 2003 also Outlook
Express 5 and 6.x.
