Dear friends ,
i am using outlook 2003 and there are two
account in that one is exchange and other one is pop account . My
problem is same mail from pop account keeps coming . and i don't want to
delete them from my pop server coz i use it from my home too ..
is there any solution i can stop same mail to download .
This happens to me too from time to time when there are geeks who send
email with attachmenst that are corrupted. What happens then is that
my POP3 download fails after getting the messages tha precede the
problem message and the session terminates. This means that Outlook is
not properly terminating the download as it should by storing the
message ID of the last message retrieved so that the next session can
start from the message following this one. Then the next session it is
all repeated ad infinum...
My solution to this is threefold:
1) If the server is accessible in Exchange mode somehow (go there or
establish a VPN channel to the server network) then opening Outlook
Inbox directly on the server lets you delete the blocking message.
2) I actually could not do this so I had to create a small Delphi
application that would use POP3 to connect and get a list of the
messages. Then I could issue a delete command for the message
following the one that is the last before the exception. After this
was done the remainder of my inbox was readable again.
But of course you have to be able to program TCP/IP and POP3 to do
this....
3) If the ISP has a web interface to your inbox, then use this to
locate the messages. If there are more than the ones that are
downloaded in your sessions then you have this problem and you can use
the web interface to delete the first message not downloaded.
