Same problem here, but I've been on the issue for days now and I'm still
getting the MS runaround. Interestingly MS MAil, aka Outlook Express, that
shipped with VIsta has no problems handling POP3 servers. I read as more and
more people are having this problems, yet MS still does not have a
satisfactory answer. I spoke for 4 hours with a MS Outlook Engineer who
diagnosed my issue and basically told me that there is a major problem here.
As a long time user of MS product I'm somewhat disturbed that MS is taking
this issue so lightly. What do we have to do to get someone, ie the
developers, take a look at the issue and present a solution. I mean its not
impossible, MS Mail handles POP3 very well with no time out.

Hi,
well I´ve the same problem described in the first post! I did the following:
Installed Outlook 2007 on a Win XP system. Everything worked great. After
that I installed Vista on the same machine and tried to sync my mails from
the pop3 accounts. The thing now is, that the download speed is 9 kb!! It
took me 60 minutes to get a mail with 1MB!!

Downloading files from the net still works...

Perhaps anyone out there has a solution!

Thanks!
Bernd

Outlook is not capable of downloading mail from a POP3 server. The same
sOutlook on XP would work great. What is with Outlook 2007 and Vista that
would make any receiving call to the POP3 server run like molassess?
