Sebastian42 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 When I have exceeded my broadband download limit, I would like to be able to delay the download [to Outlook Express] of my bulky emails, till I have bandwidth again. Gmail webmail does not seem to display email size, nor have a way of setting that to display, so that I can make a download choice based on size. What is the remedy ? Quote
RandyL Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 The only thing I can think of is to just not download the messages to your email account until you get more bandwith. Keep in mind though you are still using bandwidth if you are using web base mail and opening there or opening attachments etc. There should be the option in Outlook Express to uncheck "Send and recieve messages at startup". However if you open OE it still may send and receive. I'm not currently on a computer with OE so I can't check other options at the moment. Look under Tools>Options.

Sebastian42 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Posted October 30, 2010 What I really want to know is how to set Gmail to display the size of incoming emails. Quote
RandyL Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 I'm afraid there is no way to do that. Viewing message size-Gmail Help Quote We are all members helping other members.

Sebastian42 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Posted October 31, 2010 That settles it definitively - Thank you very much. I would have marked this thread as 'solved' - if I had found the means. I did NOT find it in 'Advancved'. Quote
RandyL Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 I agree. Sorry about that. I noticed this question has been asked on other forums. Too bad they didn't find the link. :) Tagging threads is a function we reserve for moderators on this forum. That's why you could not find it. Best wishes Sesbastian.
