You have an Internet e-mail address via a POP3-account,
you most probably use Outlook Express as e-mail client,
but now somebody has filled up your e-mail mailbox with HUGE messages
( MegaBytes of garbage ).
For Outlook Express to delete these messages in the mailbox on the POP3
server, you first have to download them ( if you use an e-mail client like
"Pegasus Mail", you could make "File, Selective Mail Download" allowing you
to delete messages while they are still on the POP3-eMail server).
a possible solution: use TELNET (one of the utilities installed by all Windows versions
together with the TCP/IP protocol), start it up by typing "telnet" in the RUN-menu:
 |  TELNET:To see what you type yourself, select in the menu: "Terminal" the "Preferences" and put a checkmark on "Local Echo" |
 | Then, to connect to your POP3 email server, select from the menu: "Connect", then "Remote System", define as Host-name the name of your POP3 -eMail server (as given to you by your ISP) and enter as port "110" |
 | after a short delay, your POP3-email server should reply with "+OK" and a welcome message. Enter now: "user <userID>", where <user-ID> is YOUR email User Identification. Enter then: "pass <password>", using your e-mail password |
using the command "list", you can see for each e-mail the size of the message.
Typing the command "retr x", where "x" is the message number, displays the
e-mail message in the telnet window, the command "top x y" will display for
message "x" only the message header and the first Y lines of the message.
With the command "dele x", you can delete a message from the e-mail server.
Type "quit" to terminate the connection.
