Don't use Outlook or OE, they are notorious for this. Also, if client side pop3 virus scan is running, it is acting as a proxy, might try w/o it running (can cuse false delays due to mime decoding and decompression of some attachments). Our solution is generally to move the big message elsewhere, then back in for download by itself. I can choke with Outlook across 10Mb if there are a large number of messages (>1000).

I know the profession level of ppl here so i thought this is the best place to ask. Some of our clients complain about their MUAs giving "request timed out" messages. In the middle of the mail fetching process (like; 3 of 22 messages are downloaded) they say their MUA stops responding. It usually happend on a big sized e-mail. Is there anything that we can do on our side to make this work for them. Most of these ppl use dsl or faster so they shouldnt have connection problems. What may be the problem and what could be done on MTA side?
