Thanks for helping me with this problem.
The error that I saw was "Error while expunging folder".  It is a pop3 account and the emails are just 
regular emails.  No attachments.  She deletes from IN box and expunges from trash folder.  Lots of free 
space.  I deleted what was in the /tmp folder and rebooted and I get the same error.  Please, any other ideas?
