Roger,
There are no adjustable 'timeout' settings in IMail. IMail will keep
connections open as long as needed, to complete the transaction. If a
connection is aborted (from the remote) while IMail is using it, it will
keep it open for periods up to an hour or so before forcing them closed.
But you don't say what gives the timeout error (Browser, I'm assuming, but
could be a dialup connection or other things) so it is hard to say what the
problem might be. Guess I'd also ask "how long does it take before the
'timeout error' occurs?" and 'how much of the file is downloaded". But I
honestly expect the error is not from IMail.
The message sounds like it is from one of your users. Maybe he is having
some kind of connection problems, that only show up when large amounts of
data are being sent or received? I've seen that with dialup users, most
often. Changing the MTU setting is often the solution. If you don't know
what that means, try the KB and its references.
