I am using Mozilla as my mail program btw.

thanks

Strange though if you have deleted them from webmail.

When you telnet etc.

What happens when you after loggin on with username and pass etc what happens when you type list ??

Does this show a list of messages and if it does have you tried deleting the offending mail if there is from the telnet session.

To do this you will need to identify the mail and type DELE 1 or whichever number corresponds.

Then type quit to close the telnet connection.

I myself am not to familiar with Mozilla but stick around and someone on here will be although like other mail clients have you tried deleting the account from Mozilla and recreating this.

Maybe worth changing the pop and smtp settings to

Instead of pop.ntlworld.com try 62.253.162.50 and smtp.ntlworld.com try 62.253.162.40

Like I say someone who is more familiar with Mozilla may have some further ideas.
