I am having a small problem with TB30. I keep getting "Message

LOL, even GMail limits to 25MB per email!

I have found only 2 controls to limit my inbound receipt:
Tools/Account Setting/Eudora Settings/Disk Space
Tools/Options/Advanced/Network&Disk Space
I'm not using this (default "Use up to 0") but the wording has "cache" in it so I
don't think it limits downloads. In fact after searching (when I should be working on
a client website for the AM!) I found no direct reference the this cache size but
assume given it's grouping under Disk Space with Compact Folders that it governs how
much disk space the local DB of email can consume, not per-message-downloaded.
Tools/Account Setting/Eudora Settings/Disk Space seems to be bugged or
broken for me. The opening selection says,
"To save disk space, DO NOT download msgs larger than:
" /checkbox/..........radio for ?? KB"
No matter what I place in the ?? value, it always resets to "50KB."
I do have Tools/Options/Advanced/Network&Disk Space set to 2500KB.
Any ideas?
50KB setting is a Bug:

I also wonder about the listing of the Tools/Account Settings display
also. I am afraid to do much muck about ATM.
YES. I did create TBird by pulling from my older Eudora proggy (no gone
and archived).
I can NOT seem to change the "Account Name" (Eudora Settings) either.
And, I am afraid to........... :(
"Eudora Settings" is just descriptive text for the account settings you imported, it
can be renamed.
Tools->Account Settings
If I click on the root folder entry of any account in the left pane I can edit the
descriptive "Account Name" field in the "Account Settings" right pane without issue.
Once that field is changed, the left pane will reflect the new value.
I do not know what to change it to! I am lost; but, I suspect this may
be a root cause of my problem.
Stop trying to limit download size and see if the error stops, simple. What's the
point in this day and age? I've not had an issue where I get some massive
email/attachment, in fact I find email servers tend to still be so draconian about
maximum size when I do want to send/receive large attachments.
