Outlook stops downloading

[Niels Thorsen]

Hi

I'm running Outlook 2003 SP1 and XP SP2. Outlook stops downloading
mails from the POP3 server and starts over again downloading the
allready recieved mails.

If I manually enter the mailbox (through a webmail interface), and
remove the
excact mail where Outlook stopped, it works ok again.

I have: done a repair, run pstscan.exe, nothing worked.

Anyone have a suggestion?

The problem may be either a timeout value on your machine that is set too
low or a malformed message on the server that causes Outlook to time out.
Increase your send/revceive interval to ten minutes or more and increase the
server timeout value on the Advanced tab of your account properties pages.

Increasing timeout value and send/recieve interval has no effect.

I have noticed:
- that there was no problem before opgrading to XP SP2.
- mails causing the restart is always HTML (newsletters) etc.
- there must be more than 8 mails in the mailbox to cause the problem.
- have also had this problem on my laptop running XP SP1 and OL2003.
