Default Incoming emails

POP3 mail: http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#pop3uidl

HTTP (Hotmail) and IMAP: http://www.insideoe.com/faqs/why.htm#dupes

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and frequently
perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to
close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting
is taking place.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

My OE receives the same emails, appx 100, everytime, already previously
received and then displays an error message 'Server terminated
connection........'.
As a result, no new emails are received!
My OS is XP.
Thank you
