Email download limits

I had a client waiting on emails to download into outlook. When the problem was reported, there were several days worth of emails to download.
Outlook was retrieving messages, but it was only taking 8 - 15 at a time, the total size for each group was between 20 - 35 mb, and this went on for hours until it finally downloaded all the emails.
What I would like to know is, is this normal behavior for outlook? Is there a limit on how much Outlook can download at once? If there isn't a limit, is there a setting I can adjust in Outlook so that it can retrieve emails any faster?
System is WIN 7 Pro, 64 bit, 4gb ram, Outlook 2007, downloading email from Gmail account.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
Patrick

No, there's no download limit. I'm guessing you are using an IMAP account; IMAP is notorious for being the poorest performing email protocol with Outlook, especially versions before Outlook 2013.
You do have some control though over downloading. Go into your Send/Receive Settings and you can control on a folder-by-folder basis whether to download email headers only or the full content.

Mail app problems (duplicating email downloads)

in my Mail app, i am having a problem with receiving "duplicate" emails. i will get an email, and after in downloads to Mail, the "spinning circle" (next to the INBOX icon) keeps on spinning...then a duplicate of the email downloads. to stop the "spinning circle". i have to "force quit" Mail.
i have the option with Road Runner to get emails from their "WebMail" website. when i log-in, i see the email that is duplicating in Mail...plus other emails that has not been downloaded in my Mail application.
if i delete the "duplicating email" in RR Webmail, and launch Mail again, the "other emails" that i see in RR WebMail will download.
and if there are other new emails, the whole scenario will go over again in Mail.
i talked to a Road Runner technician and he tried to find a preference in the Mail app that will allow Mail to give a bit more time for Mail to download emails with larger attachments (2mb and up). he said that Mail is not giving enough time to download the larger emails, so it is "bottlenecking" the large email and other emails after that.
Just wondering if anyone knows about this problem, or if anyone knows if there is a preference in Mail to "extend" the download time for larger-sized emails......
thank you....

I am having this same problem. How did you solve it?

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key doesn't work/fit into any of the "Registration" templates I've look through on the Adobe website. Manufacturer Part # 65195473.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI via email download code via the Dell Store yesterday. The product key given doesn't work/fit into the boxes on any of the "Register" pages on the Adobe website. Therefore, although I paid for the product and it is downloaded, it is not "installed" and will not work to print documents from emails, etc.

Hi williamc48321229,
You must have received redemption code via email from the reseller.
Please ensure that you are entering the right code as that would be needed to obtain the serial number for activating the product.

Hope this helps.

File Download limited to 4 files at a time... the rest are pending...

safari version 2.0.3 (417.9.2)
File Download limited to 4 files at a time... the rest are pending...
- it did not used to be this way -
- is there a way to up the limit to more than 4 things at a time - if so how?

I believe 4 is the Safari limit. To be sure, go to your User Library>Safari folder and trash the downloads.plist file. Restart Safari and try multiple downloads. Trashing this file resets the Safari Download function and clears any corruption in the file.
If 4 is the limit, you'll have to try a 3rd party application such as SpeedDownload, which offers much more download flexibility and features than Safari.
One word of caution, if you try SpeedDownload but decide it is not for you, make sure you uninstall all of its components, especially any in your Internet-Plug-ins or InputManagers folder in either the Main or User Library, and the YazSoft preference file in your Preferences Folder. I know the app. comes with an uninstall feature, however, always good to double check.

Increasing Email Size Limits for some users

Hi All,
For some users (management) i needed to arrange that they are able to send bigger files then the default 10MB limit to each other.
I used this procedure to do so,
https://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/exchange/increasing-email-size-limits-for-your-high-profile-users-in-exchange-2010/
In a nutshell:
Set Global Transport Org. Config to 200MB
Set Transport Send and Receive connector to 200MB
Created a Distribution group adding the MT members and me (for testing)
Created a transport Rule for the 10MB limit for all users and exception for the distribution group
(Believe me, i am not happy with the 200MB size limit)
All seems to work but i have one issue that i cannot tackel or maybe it is by design.
-Managemant can also send big files to all
users who do not have this privelige, this is not someting i want, sending 100MB+ attachments to over 150 users.
Is this by design or do i mis something?
Thanks,
Ron

Hi RonGielgens,
Attachment size in exchange has to be set on
Global settings
Connectors (send and receive connectors)
Mailbox
The global settings will affect all the others. of course connectors will affect specific servers and mailbox one user. You have to set the global to the absolute max size you want to allow in your organization.
after you do this you will need either to set the 10MB on each mailbox
Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox -MaxSendSize 10MB -MaxReceiveSize 10MB
Then change the limit on specific mailbox
or another way is to create a transport rule that will reject the email if the attachment size it > 10MB unless the sender/recipient is the required user or group.
so basically create 2 transport rules
1. reject messages sent to anyone with attachment > 10mb unless the recipient is userX
2. reject messages sent from anyone with attachment > 10mb unless the sender is userX
Normal case it should not allow.
Thanks, MAS

Hi,
What’s your account type using in Outlook? IMAP account or Exchange account?
Please make sure your Outlook 2013 is updated to the latest version. Then click Send/Receive > Send/Receive All Folders to manually download mailbox data files from mail server to Outlook data file. If it fails, please recreate the IMAP account in Outlook
to have a try:

Interactive report define "from" in email download

I still don't see this option in interactive report;
can sombody help me?
Thanks

David,
The comma is the operational separator for the 'IN' clause, so you are right, the filter sees each part of the name as a parameter. Just use something else as the separator (like a space) and you will be good to go.

Email accounts limits (size)

Hi all can somebody tell me how big can an email account be?
I might jump in business Catalyst soon and become a partner
It seems to be a great solution for a freelancer like me.
But i find it hard to find basic answers like how big can a email account be
(For people who dont clean their mailboxes often)
Sorry for my lousy English...
y.d.

I don't remember it being clearly documented either-- but I'm guessing the amount of space for emails can't be more than the storage allotment for your BC plan.
If you do plan on getting into BC for freelance I highly recommend using Google Apps for your email. You can host it at your domain and it's pretty affordable if you want just a few email addresses. The price you pay is definitely worth the stability and features you get with Google Apps.
In my experience, BC email in the past was somewhat unreliable. From what I've been told by some clients they rarely have issues anymore with it but BC does have some downtime on occasion and email is affected for a short period of time. You won't lose mail-- it will just be delayed.
Sorry I don't have an answer on email storage limits but I will always recommend using Google Apps for your hosted email for reliability and features... if your business depends on email-- go Google.

Manual Email Download w/ Latest OS

Hi all - I'm new here :-)
Day 2 with a new BB Q10 and so far it's great!
I'm pretty tech savvy and have set up my POP3 email account as well as the SMTP etc.. and eveything works.
I set the POP3 account email 'Sync Interval' to "Manual", assuming this would allow me to check my email ONLY when I wish to do so as I don't want email downloaded to the Q10 unless I have a good reason to check it. I bought the Q10 primarily as a phone and not as an email tool.
With my desktop email program I delete email on the server after downloading, so there's never a lot waiting for downloading. But I do get the usual spam + "friends" who enjoy sending 5-10MB image attachments of their cat (sigh) and I don't want these eating into my Data plan while on the road.
The problem:
Despite the 'Sync -> Manual' setting the Q10 still downlloads whatever's on the mail server.
So -- the questions are:
1) How can only get/sync the email ONLY when I want to?
2) Can I temporarily disable that email account altogether and reenable it without having to re-enter all the settings?
3) Once downloaded, can I delete emails without opening them and being exposed to what they might contain?
4) Are there alternative email programs available for the Q10
Thank you any help with this.

What you can do with the email is to set when to sync your can also go to settings and toggle the switch to data plan in order to save data!
The data plan is already off as I'm on my local wi-fi. But I still end up downloading emails that I then appear to have to OPEN if I want to delete them.
Is there no way to delete emails without opening?
What about deleting emails that may contain a dangerous payload?
The set to sync every "24 hours" will work only for 24 hours. I'd prefer to set it to something longer (->7days). But when it does kick in it will still download whatever's waiting online.
Why not a Sync ON/OFF option?
Or why doesn't the "Manual" sync setting bahave as it suggests?
If this is a bug then I'm happy to just wait for a fix. But I was hoping there was already a setting that I had overlooked.
Thanks for your suggestions nonetheless :-)

Why doesn't my email download unless I open app?

Why doesn't my email download unless I open app?

Yes, the settings are correctly set on the iphone 4s. It is a Yahoo email address. I am not using iCloud. Do you HAVE to have an icloud email account first in order for it to push automatically to other email accounts?

Using MS Oulook on Mac, email size limited

Using MS Oulook, outgoing emails are limited in size. If an email/attachment is about 2.5MB or larger, it will not send and gets stuck in my outbox. How do i increase this on my Mac mini? Thanks

Thank for the suggestion. I had a quick look at the types of issues that MAC users of MS Outlook are reporting back and conclude they are many and various - eniugh in fact to confirm what I already suspected - that a MAC implementation fo MS Outlook is unreliable and further confirmation that the way Microsoft and Apple have proceeded has resulted in customers to both like me being forced to choose between the two - rather than helping us work with both platforms in an intregrated way. It is a complete disgrace on both companies.

All my emails download in Mail as "flagged" already!

Hi Everyone!
Well, I have tried about all I can think of, and I have asked other Mac users, and now I am coming to this forum for some wisdom from other Mac sages and users.
I have this incredible annoyance which began with OS 10.5 and has continue in 10.6.
My Apple Mail app downloads my emails from Gmail, Yahoo, Windows Live, and all the email that is downloaded, comes already with the red flag. They the red flag disappears when I read an email.
All I have to do is click on the email, and the red flag disappears.
Is their a way to change this? Is there a way that my emails download without being red flagged?
Your help would be appreciated.

Hey Sam,
I just had the same issue too. It has to do with the rules set in Mail.
If you go to preferences and then to the rules tab which is on the
extreme right. You will see a number of rules and checkboxes.
One of the rules forces Mail to flag all the emails you receive. It
is obviously one of the checked rules. So if you click on the rules,
and go to Edit, you will get an idea of what each individual rule does.
The rule which cause Mail to flag emails on my computer was called
Mail FX. I just unchecked it and disabled it. You can delete it but I too,
but I don't know if this will cause an issue. I prefer to be better safe than
sorry and unchecked it and its working fine now.

When my emails download to Outlook I want them to delete from my BB and they aren't

I have a Curve 8310. In the past when I opened Outlook and my emails downloaded, they disappeared from from Blackberry and I like that. My computer recently crashed and I had to download the latest BB Desktop. Now the emails will only delete from my Blackberry manually. Help?

In Outlook, find the email setup for that email account and tell the server to delete the messages on the server after downloaded.

Limit email downloads while roaming?

Hello
When I am roaming I would like to limit my email downloads, to just download headers, or just the first 5k, like I used to be able on my Treo. Even being able to set "no attachments" or "no images" would be great.
Right now I'm finding my email charges while roaming are huge, because I get a lot of email that really isn't crucial, but I have to download it all in order to see the messages that are.
How would I enable this?
Thanks

Here is what I have noticed with attachements.
I can test and send an attachment to myself from PC to iPhone accuont that it is checking.
Open Mail App. It checks and says connecting...etc. I see messages show up.
Get the Ding.
Shortly after that the paperclip will show I got one with an attachment.
But then the progress at the bottom goes away. However, if I don't go into that mail message and just wait. The progress indicator at the top will start and will process and process and process. Once that if finally done. If I open the message. The attachment will be there already downloaded. Only if one goes into a mail message around the time it arrives (before it had time to download) have I seen it say attachment is there but not downloaded (or at times it will take time and process and download on open).
I have just found (from my experience) that if you don't go right into email when an email with an attachement arrives and let it sit it will eventually be there when you do go check.
Now this also happens when I don't open the mail app at all. As I described in one of my earlier posts. I listen to music/podcasts on FM transmitter in my car. I get the now and then interference for txt, grabbing new cell etc. When new email arrives (I don't seem to get interference with just checking...odd) but when new email arrives I hear the itnerference (longer than txt interference) then it stops, I get a ding. But I will leave it there as I don't need to be reading email while driving. But if an attachement was included, then it will start to process again (long time with interference...could be minutes if big attachment especially while moving and jumping towers). I have had to pause playback as it is just unbearable. I have at times gotten fed up knowing it was a huge file that I can get later and gone and turned of my email after having gone into mail to press and hold home button to force quit it.
All my accounts I check are POP.
