The Server Timeout is how long OE will wait for a response from the
server before OE will consider that the connection to the server has
been lost and give up the send and receive. One to 2 minutes is
reasonable.

Do you get any error message when this happens?

If you try the send and receive again, do the messages eventually all
come through? If so, it's likely a problem with the mail server.

When downloading multiple messages, often my e-mail disconnects from
the server part way through. I have tried increasing my server timeout
but this does not seem to help. Any ideas.
