Multiple POP logs found in "My Documents"

I don't normally use the My Documents folder on my own system. I opened it earlier after missing the icon I was aiming for.

I've never seen anything like this and am now worried I've got something on my system that I can't spot in Belarc, and that Adaware and Spybot haven't picked up. I just found *several hundred log files* in My Documents on my XP machine. When looking in the log, my email address and password are there in plain english, in addition to the full text and headers of any e-mail that I've downloaded.

The log files are all in the format of:

YY.MM.DD.HH.MM.SS-pop3-(constant 5 digit number)-(numeric sequential numbers)-server.log

I've been using this same machine for a few years, and I know that this is not something that my virus scanner, email software, or mail server is doing.

Does this look familiar to anyone?
 
Well, could be actual logs from your email server.

Which server are you using? Did you recently change the configuration?

Cheers,
Dian
