Lately I've been having trouble retrieving my mail from comcast thru Outlook Express. Here is the error I get:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'kriskirk', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '+OK', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

Now it seems like this error is generated because of some type of unrecognizable characters in one of the emails. What I have to do is go into the web-based email and delet the email and then it'll download the rest of the emails. What's annoy is if I have 30 emails and the culprit eail is the 20th email, then I get 20 emails, then this error, and when I try to pull my email after I clear out the bad email I get the same 20 emails plus the remaining emails. Is there anyway around this?
