outlook express - problem

I am unable to download my messages from outlook
express,does anyone know if there is a problem with it?
I seem to be getting two messages in duplicate,and its
telling me there is another 25 messages but outlook
express cuts out before downloading messages.

Hi Tom,

Sounds like there may be two problems involved. Some people have had a
problem with some messages that cannot be downloaded by Outlook Express.
Downloaded stops for all messages when the problem message is in the queue.
The message can be removed from Web access to the account (if available).
Another option is telnet.

What type of account is giving duplicate downloads (POP3 or HTTP Hotmail)?

*****
Try using Telnet to remotely empty your mailbox.

Go to start/run and type the following:
telnet {pop3 server name} 110 - hit enter, don't type the brackets.
user {your username} - hit enter
pass {your password} - hit enter

There are various commands available:

list (will return all messages)
retr (whatever number will retrieve that message)
dele (+ number will delete that number message)
