Of course they should also not be allowed to drive, vote, own a gun, or reproduce, but we don’t stop them. At least you have to pass a test to get a drivers license. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5XJ83PRJOU From: Chuck McCown Sent: Sunday, June 14, 2015 4:05 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] today's consulting fun IMHO, POP3 should never leave messages. You can’t leave a copy of your mail at the post office. If you want to leave messages, that is what IMAP is good for.

That way it won’t start over with 1 of 54484 if it gets stuck again. And if it still can’t get past one problematic message, see if Bell South has webmail and he can go in and delete the problem message from there.

Sounds like maybe you have never had the pain of running your own mail server. We used to get this note and again. Someone needs to manually look at the message file and go to the spot if that message and manually delete it. Good luck convincing bell south to do it.
