Guten Tag Paul Berger,

 Is there any way to selectively download emails with big attachments,
 say over 2MB?

In recent times, it has been the rule, not to send Attachments over
1,44 Mb (Floppy Size). Now anything grew bigger (DSL) and i regularly
get Mails with 6,10,15 Mb Size. This should be no problem with DSL
Internet Access.

 In the last few weeks 2 friends of mine have had their mailbox full
 and could no longer use their email. They had to phone their provider
 to delete all emails so they could resume using their email.

There are several Freeware Tools like PostBoxInspektor (it is included
in The Bat! you have to do CTRL-F2 or Shift-CTRL-F2) make it possible
to solve that problem without help of the Provider.
If you log in with PostBoxInspektor, only the Headers of the Mail and
Data like Size are polled and you can select the Mail and delete it
from the Server without downloading it...

Hope this helps, maybe you want to have a look at this feature?

It does work. I've had mine set to 80K for a long time now. I get a
notification message that has a link to the specific mailbox entry, that
takes me to the Connection Centre so that I can read it, download it, or
delete it. I often receive multi-megabyte attachments and it has really
helped me manage them. Here's the first paragraph of the notification
message:

A message with the size exceeding 80 K bytes limit has arrived to your address -
 the message number on the server is 1.
 Please take care of it by yourself

 If I get multiple attachments in a single pass, I can go direct to the
 Check mail on server  All messages from the menu, and select all of
 them to be downloaded (or just deleted if they are spam) at once. It makes
 life much simpler by letting me choose when to deal with lengthy downloads
 or low disk space.

Selective download big files

Is there any way to selectively download emails with big attachments,

People are infatuated with pretty pictures, especially moving
pictures, and they like to send them to all their friends.

In the last few weeks 2 friends of mine have had their mailbox full
and could no longer use their email. They had to phone their provider
to delete all emails so they could resume using their email.
