Hi all Another annoying mail block has prevented me from downloading from my ISP's inward mail for me. This time the sender is : Bill Bell ([log in to unmask]), Read : Re: Internet Message On endeavouring to download I receive an onscreen message reading : "Couldn't read mailbox. 1,{pop:758}" I can clear the problem by instructing my ISP to "delete" this message from Bill Bell and then I am back in business receiving the mail build up !! It will be interesting when the cause of these persistent mail blocks is identified and eradicated. In the meantime I am following the pertinent List comments and suggestions and note that it is not only Mac users that are having these regular mail blocks. As reported earlier in my email to Camilla, I am using a Mac Performa CD ROM 5260 OS 8.0 Eudora Li 3.0.1 Jim Caldwell ([log in to unmask])
