 Posted: Fri Jun 09, 2006 5:18 am Post subject: Restricting Long Downloads on Dial Up |
 |
|
Yah, I'm sitting here fat & happy with my high speed cable connection, but stuck when I'm on the road and using campground dial ups. Several have mentioned setting a rule, but I couldn't figure that out. Last night and this morning, Jim Baker very kindly took the time and trouble to walk me thru it. Very simple, once I found the secret.
If you have dial up service, and don't want to accept the long downloads, read on..................
For those with Outlook Express.........click on Tools, then on Message Rules, then Mail. On the box that opens, click New on the right side, then on the new box, in the top section (here's where I got stuck) *Scroll Down* till you see "Where Message Size is More Than Size. Check that box, and box 3 will highlight the word "Size." Click that and choose the maximum size you want to accept, type it in,then then go to section 2 and scroll down (I hadn't been seeing the scroll arrows) till you can check the box saying "Do not Download it from server." That's all there is to it. Later, if you get on high speed, just un-check it from the Message Rules box. Simple.........I just couldn't see it. Thanks, Jim. Lar.

Lar,
What did you set your limit for? 100 KB as has been mentioned on the list, more or less? I don't want to lose reasonable size downloads. Thanks for the heads up on how to set up the limit.
Terry

I dunno, Terry. Seems to me you'd miss a lot of good stuff with a 100 kb limit. Maybe try 250 or so, and see how it goes ?? Lar. Do not Archive.
