XCLN: Outlook 98 and Outlook 2000 Don't Download Messages Larger than Option Is Ignored by IMAP (245102)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Outlook 2000
- Microsoft Outlook 98
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q245102 NOTE: These procedures only apply if you have installed Outlook with the
Internet Mail Only (IMO) option. To determine your installation type, on
the Help menu, click About Microsoft Outlook. In the About Microsoft Outlook dialog box you
should see "Internet Mail Only" if you have the Internet Mail Only option
installed.
SUMMARY
If you use dial-up networking (DUN), you can filter large messages to prevent them from downloading by clicking Options on the Tools menu, clicking Mail Delivery, and then under Dial-up, in the Don't download messages larger than box, typing the size in kilobytes (KB) that you want to limit downloaded files to.
However, this option is for Post Office Protocol (POP) servers only, and does not prevent messages from Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) servers from downloading.
MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is by design.
