So to automatically delete all emails with big files is problematic. I have Outlook Express and Earthlink, so maybe my technique is limited to that setup. 1. An email seems to be taking forever to receive. 2. When your patience is up, disconnect your dialup. When Outlook gives you an error message, just accept it and then terminate the Outlook program. 3. Dial your connection again. 4. Now go to Earthlink's webmail site. You will find the big message listed and you can see who it is from and the reason it is so big. 5. If you don't want it, delete it. 6. If you do want it, you can download the attachment right from webmail, or you can start Outlook again and it will automatically start loading it again. I wish Outlook would list the messages before starting the downloads, but then I wish for a lot of things. Hey, Rick, I can't believe you had something for dialup users. I hardly ever go to your site anymore because you do everything with video now. At least you aren't doing the capcha thing anymore.

4. Now go to Earthlink’s webmail site. You will find the big message listed and you can see who it is from and the reason it is so big.
5. If you don’t want it, delete it.
6. If you do want it, you can download the attachment right from webmail, or you can start Outlook again and it will automatically start loading it again.

When you say you want to forward you get the address bars that you want to send to but you cannot access the email that you are forwarding to delete all of those addresses that aren't necessary to forward. Do you know who to solve that problem? I have Thunderbird as my email connection and when I want to forward a good email I cannot seem to delete the person that sent me that email.
