large emails not downloading

[rich2]

Hi, I am trying to isolate an issue. Whenever I get large emails ( a few meg or more) they always fail. I am trying to isolate if its the email app (which i have tried 3 now and dont think thats it) Is cppop/exim on the server, the actual server itself, or my isp somehow. So i am just wondering if anyone else has had problems downloading large mails (via pop) and if they had a solution. maybe help me narrow it down a bit

thanks in advance

I've downloaded full 750mb isos through my email. It surely isn't the server. Unless you set a file limit or something.

yeah, just a lil strange, i'll post the error next time i get it.

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.404labs.com', Server: 'mail.404labs.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

2 email clients have given me that similar message, the other just stays there locked for a while.

Weird. Not sure what to say.

On a side note you live right next door to me. I'm in Everett and you're in Malden. Nice to meet a local =]
