I am having a problem on a daily basis that is quite annoying.  When I check Outlook 2003 for mail, usually everything sends and receives without a hitch.  However, once in a while (about once or twice a day lately) the messages will start to download, but before they all arive, the progress will stop, and then eventually I will get a timed out error.  From then on the only way to fix the problem and get rid of whatever message is causing the bottleneck is to go into webmail and delete it there.  Otherwise it will continue to always quit downloading at the same message forever.  I haven't found the problem to be just with large messages.  In fact usually it is an advertisement or some other form of garbage.  If anyone has any clue as to how to fix this, I would sure appreciate hearing about it!

Thanks, David!  I'll give that a try.  Sure hope it will be that simple to fix!
