Default How to re-receive email from Hotmail acct?

Note that closing OE and deleting POP3UIDL.DBX from your message store will
"reset" all POP3 accounts, not just the Hotmail account.

I have an OE "account" linked to a Hotmail account.

I send a message to myself, then read it in OE by clicking Send/Recv.

The first time works fine.

After I delete the message from OE, how can I pop it again from Hotmail?

I have tried deleting the message from the Deleted Items folder even
before
I read it in OE, to no avail.

I have tried exiting and restarting OE, not to avail.

I have even tried Tools Options Maintenance Clean Up Now Reset
with
Local Files set to Outlook Express, to no avail.

I have also tried toggling Mark As Read and As Unread in hotmail.com.

Something -- OE or Hotmail -- is remembering that the message was already
popped.

How do I reset that state so that it can be re-popped?

Details....

I am using OE 6.00.2900.5512(xpsp.080413-2105), MS Win XP SP3 with IE
6.0.2900.5512.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236.

The OE mail "account" is set up as a POP3 server with "Include account
when
receiving mail" and "Leave a copy on server" set.
