I know it happens with Outlook xpress and Eudora Pro 5.1. That is all I have tried. I should have explained it a bit better. I copied the mail file from one user to another (myself) and I had the same problem. I use Eudora and the user was using Outlook express.
Next time it happens I will copy the file and keep it. (should have done this before) Thought I had it again today, but it was just a message with a 4.6MB attachment. It was timing out with a user, but I copied it and I could download the messages fine.
