Because I realised I had not replied to someone who was waiting for information I went on line at peak time and, having sent my message, spent eleven minutes trying to download a rather long e-mail or one with a large attachment. Then my PC disconnected leaving the message on the server. I do wish people would not do this without warning and I don't know who it was because it caused my PC to crash. I assume it is too late to stop it because it will be on my server LURKING, waiting for me to try again. So, even though I do sometimes log on for a "quicky" during the day, this now means I can't do a thing until tonight - except to send this and quickly log off unless I want to spent another hour or so [it was message 8 of 11 which caused the problem] on line.

Hi Brian, If you go to http://www.kempston.freeserve.co.uk/smb/ you can download POP3 Scan Mailbox and use it to read or delete e-mails from your server. If there's an e-mail stopping the rest you can use Scan Mailbox to read it then delete it. Works great for freeserve and some other ISPs but not sure about yours. Good Luck, TTFN Marion no snow here just frost :-(

Ta muchly. I will try it. Brian B Lancashire, UK.
