    ah so you're still a Tiscali user... pop.tiscali.co.uk is right as i'm still a Tiscali user.

    Try creating a new folder in webmail and move some of the oldest - or the oldest - email into it.. Or possibly just delete the oldest email, and then try and download them.

    pst file is where your emails are stored when you download them to outlook.
