Outlook 2003 - Message in Limbo!

[sammydb]

Using Microsoft Outlook 2003. Sending and receiving all messages from all
POP accounts.

One message to one account (that still receives and sends normally) is stuck
in limbo and is causing the following message to occur:

Task 'pop.bizmail.yahoo.com (1) - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC90) :
'Your incoming (POP3) e-mail server has reported an internal error. If you
continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or
Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded: -ERR problem
retrieving message.'

The error e-mail cannot be received and it usually takes Outlook 30 seconds
of trying to receive it before it will go on and receive the rest of the
e-mails.

It is a POP on account.

Any suggestions on how to rid myself of this? Thanks.

Since this appears to be your POP server issuing the error, try logging into
it via its web interface, if it has one, and looking at the messages in its
Inbox. Move the one next in line for downloading (the one with the oldest
date) to a server-side folder you create in the web interface to the server.
This should allow Outlook to be able to download the rest. You can read the
stuck message on line and deal with it there or move it back to the Inbox by
itself to see if Outlook can handle it when no others messages are present.
Make sure your Outlook's server timeout value is adequate and that the
send/receive interfval is no less than ten minutes.

The POP server only has limited access to certain things, like one e-mail
account setup as a catch-all account. It would appear I have no access to
the server. We are using Yahoo! Small Business, and I would believe that
they have control over that. Should I contact them to see if they can
resolve the issue? Thanks.

Since you must be paying them to help you, I'd say it's worth trying.
