Error: Out of system resources

D

DM

I am using Outlook 2002 with Spamnet. My computer has 512Mb RAM.

I have had this problem before.

I go on holidays and return to hundreds of emails. In this case, when I
check the number on my ISP's website I see that I have 1901.

When I click on Send/Receive it says that I have 1279 messages. It downloads
them all putting them in their respective folders. No problem - though it
leaves the balance of the 1901 messages behind.

However, after downloading the 1279 messages, I get a Send/Receive error
saying that the program is out of resources and to close down other
programs.

The only other program open is Spamnet.

If I close the Error message and click on Send/Receive, it starts to
download the messages again!

This is maddening.

How can I give Outlook more resources so that it downloads ALL the messages
at the first time of asking?

Thanks.

DM

ps..Sometimes, before starting to download a lot of messages, a message
appears saying that there are not enough resources to put the messages in
their allocated folders, so it puts them all in the Inbox.

What happens if you temporarily disable Spamnet? If the problem goes away,
I would contact the folks who make SpamNet and see if they have an update.
