Server Timeouts?

[Terry Bennett]

I seem to have developed an incredibly irritating fault ...

I regularly have 100+ e-mails when I log-on each day and as some of these
have .jpg attachments, there can be up to 60/70Mb of data to download. This
used to be OK but now, for some reason, Outlook is unable to cope with this.
It downloads maybe 60/70 messages and then starts again - hence it never
completes this cycle and just keeps downloading literally thousands of
messages.

I have increased the timeout settings to the maximum 10 minutes but this
makes no difference.

Please help!

Do you have an AV or Firewall set to scan incoming mail? If yes, turn it off and see what happens.

Thanks Milly. I do have Norton but had already disabled the e-mail scanning
parts of it.
