[Dovecot] Timeouts with outlook express

[Daniel]

Hi

Yes I have all the outlook workarounds enabled.

Interestingly the progress bar dose not move until the whole email has
been downloaded. Normally this moves bit by bit as the mail downloads.
But as I said the email is downloading, there is network traffic.

Any ideas?

Regards
Daniel
