When downloading mail I am getting this error message every now and then at my home PC which is set to leave a copy of message in server, When I download the same email from my office PC (which is set to delete the email after download) no error message appears.

A little bit of Googling around shows that this arror showed up to many people years ago in older versions of TB and I have not been able to find a solution for it .

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, in advance,

You have a different anti virus on those two machines would be my guess.

The error indicates that the anti virus program has deleted the temporary file that was created so the incoming email could be scanned..

As creating the temp file in an option. It is also possible it is disabled in your office machine.
