big messages take, um, big time. >However, as he was trying to pull down the messages he got about 11 and >then it got hung up. My experience has been (go ahead Len, say WHAM) to >delete the next message in line (which would have an attachment), and >then it would continue to download. it was already continuing to DL with the big message >Why would this one message on the server stop the download process of >all e-mails? The messages download in order, in sequence, one after the other, like feet, so the big message has to complete (perhaps showing no apparent progress if the user can't see the modem's idiot lights twinkling) before the others can DL. I guess we'd have to acquit them on the "twinkle defense".
