Pop 3 -consistency ck - new uid

Group, I have a POP3 account within my mail file and has worked forever…now for what reason I cannot explain it is giving me serious problems. Everyday to retrieve my outside mail, I take a deep breathe before I have to go through the pain of retrieving mail:

In my mail.nsf, I “retrieve mail”, which then:

1)immediatedly I notice the message “performs a consistency check”

2)then the next message I see “new UID has been assigned…” -

  1. Now I’m busted and cannot get into my mail file UNTIL I do the following:

comact -C

fixup -F

updall -R

The last time I ran the commands, I was able to get back into my mail file, but every piece of mail that was sitting in my “inbox” is now gone - I scanned for a few and found these messages in the “all documents” view, but missing from my inbox.

Things I have done to TRY to resolve my issue:

1)deleted the POP account and recreated a new - no help

2)opened my mail file from a test pc - same issue.

It is a guarantee, everyday that I retrieve mail from the POP process, I am going to crash.

ANY thoughts on this problem, would be greatly appreciated!!
