That's interesting that it was caused by spam. I've never had any _technical_ problems with it. Even if it doesn't jam up my computer, spam is annoying. What program are you using for mail? I've found a way to get fetchmail to delete these messages, although it's not the most graceful: 1. Interrupt fetchmail with Control C 2. Start it again. When it starts, it says it is flushing message 1 because it has been seen. This is always the message it stalled on last time because it has already flushed all the previous messages after retrieving them. > I would also like to know how this can be solved.
