the server side contains one e-mail with a bad header in one of my two e-mail
accounts. under outlook express the following error message is given:
Cannot retrieve message 1. Account: 'mail (1)', Server: '127.0.0.1', Protocol:
POP3, Reactie van server: '-ERR no such message.', Poort: 9999, Beveiligd(SSL):
Nee, Serverfout: 0x800CCC90, Foutnummer: 0x800420CD

Outlook Express skips this message giving an alert, but retrieves all other
messages from this partucular mailbox. Mozilla Mail however hooks up with
an alert RETR command did not succeed , but fails to retrieve other messages
from this particular mail box

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.opened mailbox
2.get messages ( read messages)
3.

Actual Results:  
Alert:
the RETR command did not succeed. Mail server mail.home.nl repond: no such message 

Expected Results:  
show the alert, but retrieve all other messages in the mailbox

Probably duplicate of bug 146453. This problem also occurs on Mac OS X build
1.5b nightly 20030814. Suspect part of problem may be antiquated POP software on
server; in my case, the IMail server: "+OK X1 NT-POP3 Server mail.wwow.com
(IMail 5.04 17742-1)". But Mozilla still should respond better. Is there no way
to send a request to force a current message list from the server?
