MB of WHAT is being downloaded everytime?

by seanferd

1) Where are you getting the info that several MB of data are downloaded for a couple of emails?

2) Do the emails have large attachments?

3) Are previously downloaded emails left on the server, and you are downloading all of them each time you click Receive?

If you only have a couple of emails in your Inbox, what is the total size of the Inbox?

If these are HTML emails with images, are you downloading the image content locally?

Tools > Options > Mail Format > Internet Format > HTML Options

(Outlook 2003. You path to the settings may vary.)

"1) Where are you getting the info that several MB of data are downloaded for a couple of emails?"

from the right-bottom angle of the outlook window when send/receive is taking place, always it shows what you download and the size of it.

"2) Do the emails have large attachments?"

No. They have not.

"3) Are previously downloaded emails left on the server, and you are downloading all of them each time you click Receive?"

the e mails, all of them were downloaded to outlook even sent items were downloaded too.
