I have a (fairly simple) Python program that scans through a
'catchall' E-Mail address for things that *might* be for me.  It sends
anything that could be for me to my main E-Mail and discards the rest.

However I *occasionally* get an error from it as follows:-

     Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "/home/chris/.mutt/bin/getCatchall.py", line 65, in <module>
         pop3.dele(i+1)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/poplib.py", line 240, in dele
         return self._shortcmd('DELE %s' % which)
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/poplib.py", line 160, in _shortcmd
         return self._getresp()
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/poplib.py", line 132, in _getresp
         resp, o = self._getline()
       File "/usr/lib/python2.7/poplib.py", line 377, in _getline
         raise error_proto('line too long')
     poplib.error_proto: line too long


Does anyone have any idea how I can program around this somehow?  As
it is at the moment I have to go to the webmail system at my ISP and
manually delete the message which is a bit of a nuisance.


How about a try/except in your code that catches poplib.error_proto?
