I have also had this problem using another pop3 account.   I don't think it 
matters which server it comes from, Mindspring, my own web site (hosted by 
HostSave, etc).  I only used Netscape to try and fetch the mail because KMail 
didn't work.  After finding out that Netscape failed, even after I deleted 
the whole mail box, I was confused then, and tried Outlook Express.  Also, I 
kept my Netscape mail folder in a different location.  I don't mean to shoot 
any ideas down, I am just hoping to get some more feedback.

Thanks.
