Can't Delete "Remote Item Header" in Outlook 2002

J

Several months ago, I received email via my POP3 server.
Somehow, Outlook 2002 (SP2) under Win Home (SP1) has flagged
several headers as still existing. The actual email pointed to
by these headers is long gone.

Any operation on these headers results in a display box
titled REMOTE ITEM HEADER: This item has not been retrieved
from the server. Do you want to: o-Unmark this header item,
o-Mark to download this message, o-Mark to download this message and
leave a copy on the server, o-Mark to delete this message from the server.

Outlook refuses to delete these erroneous headers. It just
marks them for deletion on the server, which can never happen.

How can I get these phantom headers to go away permanently?

TIA,

JJP
