Hmm... I *think* it downloaded all of them. Searching for a solution for
this I read somewhere that Eudora keeps an internal record of messages it
downloaded. This seems to get corrupted sometimes, causing continuous
multiple downloads. This wasn't the case here, though.

Right before this happened I got a mailbox quota warning from my ISP. So I
lowered the no. of days I keep my mail...

So anyway, maybe I should just try to keep Eudora from crashing. Maybe
having 5 mailboxes showing with 10+ MB is too much. :-|
