I post at SearchCommander.com now, and this post was published 16 years 3 months 26 days ago. This industry changes FAST, so blindly following the advice here *may not* be a good idea! If you're at all unsure, feel free to hit me up on Twitter and ask.

As I feared, I’m now in my hotel trying to download 26 megs of mail on my (far too slow) Verizon Wireless Broadband service. Before I left, I forgot to limit my file attachment size for download.

Once it’s finally done, I’ll do the following in Outlook 2007 to make sure I don’t get hung up like this again:

Choose Tools – Options – select the Mail Setup tab

click the Send/Receive rectangular button – select the group on the left, then select the Edit button.

By default, “Download complete item including attachments” is selected, but you can change the settings to Download only headers for items larger than X“

Pick the size you’re willing to tolerate for X, and save.

For now, I guess I’ll go down to the casino, because it’s going to be a long long time… (thanks Verizon)
