I did this before, but can find how or the option on my Outlook 2003
Professional.

I want to DELETE a mail that is too big, from the server.

I see how to do it AFTER I got the mail, I dont want that, I dont want to
get it.

Thanks

Set your email account only download items of a certain size then check
mail. You'll get a header item for the 'big' mail item. Mark it for deletion
then check mail again.

To change the maximum size for downloaded items go here in Outlook: Tools
menu > Send/Receive > Send/Receive settings > Define Send/Receive groups >
Highlight the group you're using > Click Edit > Check the "Download only
headers for items larger than" box and set the size

I am trying to do this also. I can't check the 'download only headers' tick
box as it is greyed out. I am connecting to a remote exchange server via a
VPN using windows XP.

How can I get the 'download only headers tick box to be accessible?

Thanks

Martin

Not sure in regards to an Exchange Server. I know the box is available for
POP3 accounts but I'm unsure about Exchange.

Does your company offer Outloko Web Access? If so, delete them that way.

You can't, since Outlook doesn't download headers with Exchange.

If you ISP gives you a webmail access to your e-mail, you can delete the
file from there. Or try this: http://www.web2mail.com/lite/welcome.php
