Don,
For future reference, if you turn on DEBUG for the POP3 server, you can see
the message ordinal. With JDBC that makes it easy. With a file system
repository, it isn't as easy. We might want to add a log at debug level to
identify each message being sent by its mail id (or Message-ID).

I wound up deleting all the messages and now it works again.
Unfortunately, I couldn't identify the offending one.
