Tim is right about that. POP protocol is safe around that, and if the POP
session doesn't end properly, it's better *for you* to be able to get the
messages again. You should understand why you get such network problem, and
try to fix it 'cause I'm afraid that you would face the same problem w/
another MUA.

As a workaround, if you are *sure* that you got that email entirely, it might
be convenient either to delete the email using a HTML interface if any, or
to use another tool that allows deleting emails w/o downloading them. If the
email size is very big (and if the size is the problem here), you can
temporarily avoid downloading it by using the relevant account receive option
- of course it would stay on the server until you remove it by hand or w/o
network problem.

BTW, did you enable "remove messages on server when received" or "download
all messages from server" in the "Receive" tab of the account prefs?
