"Failed to store all received messages" error
 
Today The Bat! started giving me a message like this:

!5/18/2015, 17:18:05: FETCH - Failed to store all received the messages into the message base. Downloaded 2 messages, stored 1 message(s).

every time I check mail.  It downloads one message (always the same one).

I ran the Maintenance Centre->Check Integrity/Repair function on all folders, which didn't help.  I also went into webmail and deleted the message that it seemed to be failing on, and it just started failing on a different message.

I had a problem downloading mail earlier in the day where the mail server at my ISP stopped recognizing my password.  The ISP's support people fixed that, then this problem began.  I can't see how they are related, but the timing suggests that they are.

I'm not getting email, which is a big problem for me.  There are 800 unread messages stacked up!

Thanks for any suggestions...

Update:  I solved the problem by turning on POP3 logging for the account that was failing.  It turns out that the POP3 server was failing to retrieve messages, in a strange way, which in turn was caused by an earlier attempt to read mail using IMAP that converted the mail server's message base to a format incompatible with POP3.  My ISP converted it back for me, and now all is well.
