Nah - Telnet dude...

It's prolly junk mail anyway...

Do the following...

1. run a telnet app, and when it opens put the POP3 server address in the
server box, and change the port to 110, then hot connect... - this will
connect you to your POP3 server.

2. if using AmiTelnet, turn on the chat bar in the last menu...

3. Then type user <your full email address>
- the server should respond with OK

4. Then type pass <yourpassword>
- You should now be logged into the server...

5. Then type list to find out the number of the sticking mail

6. Finally type dele <mail no.> to delete it, and then typr quit...

Hey presto - peoblem solved - I hope ;)
