I get this error when trying to download email: Server Response: '+OK 752 octets follow.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

Summary
It is a known problem with Outlook / Outlook Express that when a malformed message (i.e., an email with messed up header) exists in the user account,  Outlook / Outlook Express will error out when attempting to download the malformed message.  All email messages awaiting download that is dated after the malformed message will not be dowloaded.
