Outlook 2003 Stalls, Re-downloads mail

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with Outlook 2003 and it happens at least a dozen times a
day. It seems that 'broken' mail coming in to my POP mail account somehow
stops Outlook 2003 from working. Not only does the Outlook 2003 client stall
on me, but next time it checks mail, it re-downloads all the mail up to the
'broken' one, so if I leave mail running all night long, frequently I wind up
with 50 copies of 40 or more pieces of mail, right up to the broken one. I
have to sign on to my POP mail account with a web client to 'clear' the bad
mail, then Outlook can proceed.

If it were just a few times a week, i could live with it. But I get 400
pieces of mail a day, find it intolerable that I can't leave Outlook 2003 open
all the time lest it sieze up like this.

Any suggestions?
