Become that identity and go into the POP3 setup using Tools | Internet options | (Receiving)POP3 and hit the add button.  Go through all of the POP3 setups you see there and edit then to check their configuration.  Delete all those that are no longer necessary.

I am getting a consistent POP3 error on one of my identities but only when I am checking mail for ALL identities.

 If I become the problematic identity and check mail there is no error.

 Even when the error is generated, it still does in fact download the mail from the server which proves the settings are correct.

 Even so, I tried deleting the POP3 configuration and re-creating it, but the problem still persists.

Anyone have any further ideas I can try?

Thanks, Simeon

NEVER MIND, found an old rogue identity causing the issue...
