This problem isn't limited to OE. I've run into the same thing with
Thunderbird on occasion. The solution offered by others to delete the
offending message using a webmail connection has solved the problem, but
I still wonder why the problem occurs?

I prefer Thunderbird, but OE really isn't that bad...
