Something like that occasionally happens to me, using Netscape, too. I'm
fairly certain, though, that it has to do with the option in your
Netscape Preferences to either leave downloaded messages on your server
or delete them once downloaded. I use the latter option, and if the full
download process is interrupted in any way, the final instruction to
purge the server isn't delivered, and you get to download it all over again.

Hey, you told it to... ;  )
