Does the message with attachment download to your Inbox, but the
attachment won't open? Any error message? How large is the attachment and what is the file extension? -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Oct. 1, 2004 ~ Sept. 30, 2010 Imperial Beach, CA "divoch" wrote in message ...

Also check for antivirus interference. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
(Point 3). You might also try compacting the database: see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/ steve "divoch" wrote in message ... Most often than not I cannot open such a mail message .

OE on laptop seems to cope OK, but not Windows Mail on Vista desktop PC No, only a header is visible and when I click on it to retrieve the message it starts downloading and may get to over 60, 80 or even 98% and then stops. I use IMAP rather than POP with gmail. Sizes of attachments vary, could be photos or some other files. Last one had 5 photos, each less than 2MB. In Outlook Express it went all the way and opened it. divoch |

It could be an IMAP issue. I'm not at all familiar with IMAP. It may also
be due to antivirus blocking the download, but its hard to tell. steve "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ... "divoch" wrote in message ... "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...
