I am a new user of Outlook Express with Windows ME. I thought I would find the answer in FAQ but cant find it if it is there.
How can I check what mail is waiting on my server before it downloads so that I can see how large the message + attachment is. How can I select which messages I want to down load/read - eg delay downloading v. large messages/attachments.
 
Do a search in OE Help for headers then look at downloading.


To specify what you want to download

You can make all messages, only headers, or only new messages available for offline viewing by changing the synchronization settings for IMAP, HTTP, or news server folders.

From the Folders list, select an IMAP server, an HTTP server, or a news server.
In the main window, select one or more folders or newsgroups.
Click Settings, and then click to change the setting to one of the following:
All Messages
New Messages Only
Headers Only
If you do not want messages from a particular folder or newsgroup to be downloaded, click Don't Synchronize.
