One of my addresses gets quite a bit of spam (80-100/day) and AS deals with the majority. Occasionally it seems as if one email trips it up, while the fetch it at, say, 49 of 100, giving the above error and AS moves on to the next mailbox without deleting those already d/loaded. Next time I fetch the same happens all over again. I get repeat valid emails in my boxes. I use webmail to delete half the culprits, but cannot see which might be causing the problem (nor if there's just one causing it). Any clues? Anyone there? Brian -- Auckland NEW ZEALAND
