time out error downloading email from MSN to Outlook

[Dave M]

when ever I have emails over 3 meg in size I get the
error " a timeout occured while communicating with the
server" You can see that it the download starts, I
believe its a timing issue with http:// accounts. If I go
to MSN 8 and look at the mail its fine, any ideas would
be appreciated.

Sometimes my Norton Antivirus chokes on large attachments, and the resultant
delay processing the file times out the server. If you're running an AV
program, try rebooting and resending with the AV disabled (scan the file
manually first before saving, to be a good citizen).

The problem may also lie in your (or your reciepient's) ISP. My Verizon
mailbox, for example, is limited to 8 Mb.

Try sending yourself the file, and see what happens.

This could also mean that there is a corrupted message on
the server and you may need to delete or move the messages
from the inbox using the website feature and then try
again.

all the Virus programs are disabled and I do have a 10
meg file limit. what I really need is how to change the
time out timer in Outlook 2002 when connecting to http
servers. Thanks, Dave

This is a bug in the Hotmail/MSN support in Outlook 2002 that should be
fixed in the soon-to-be-released SP3 for it.
