Kills Mozilla Mail transfer from the pop3 machine.  It doesn't appear to crash
the mailer program, it just sits and loops, trying to get mail.  I have to
delete the message from the pop box, and then the rest of the messages come over
fine.

Obviously this is Microsoft's doing, and I do not think it is a cooincidence
messages like this are stopping Mozilla Mail readers ONLY.

Here is the entire message:

Comment 3

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
