Downloading messages times out
I am starting to re-use an old e-mail address. I believe the problem is that
there are a number of old messages that have been sitting there from before. It is too large to download them all at once and the server keeps timing out, I even left it running all night, hoping that would solve the issue, I also have tried changing the headers only, size of files etc. I just cannot seem to get rid of the old ones and start fresh with the new... working address is problem address is . What should I do? |

What version of Microsoft Outlook are you using?
What operating system are you using? Other than that, does the ISP offer a web browser access to e-mail? This might be one way to remove the items you don't want before trying to acquire them via POP3/IMAP. "HMcG" wrote in message ... I am starting to re-use an old e-mail address.
