I have dial up. My OE6 is set to download the new messages on AOL then hang
up. I am getting all my new messages, but I am also getting lots of old
messages. For example, yesterday I downloaded 30 new messages, today I
downloaded 35 new message (the first 30 were downloaded yesterday too).
Tomorrow I'll download 38 new messages (the first 35 of which were already
downloaded).

Any idea how to fix my problem???? Thank you.

Check your account online to see if there is a message that is not
downloading. All messages must download before messages are marked as
downloaded. There may be a large message that is causing the connection to
timeout.

Ron has it right. You might want to tell your friends to limit pictures to
under 1meg so your dial-up won't time out.

I check my e-mail at the library pretty much every day. Sometimes I delete
messages at the library (esp. the large ones). . . I currently have 5 to 10
messages in my inbox on aol.com. However, as my OE6 at home is checking
messages, I have 92 new messages to download. How can I find The One that
is very large and causing a time out on my server? Any ideas? Thank you.,

No dice,

I just sat here for forever waiting for all messages to download . . .
finally completed. I clicked "send and recived all" again (just to see if I
would have 92 or 0 messages) and I still have 92 new messages. what's your
next suggestion?
