I am running WinXP Home Outlook express 6.0. I am an old grandpa and just
got a computer so I am new to this.
I am using my son's computer to send this message I am worried it would take
me three days to read the answers.
Is there a way to stop/delete incoming mail with large attachments. I live
in the country and just have dial up modem.
Last night when I went to my mail program it automatically started down
loading my messages. The was some really large
files it took 2 1/2 hours to download them. I couldn't read/send any mail
until it was finished. Is there a way to stop them.

Thanks Gramps

Tools | Message Rules | Mail | New.

Box 1: Check - Where the message size is more than size
Box 2: Check - Delete it from server
Box 3: Click on Size and choose a size. 50KB should be sufficient, but you
can change it at any time.

Name the rule and you're done.
