A user of my mail system is having problems retrieving emails with attachments larger 
than 10k or so. They receive 'server timed out' messages. They are using Outlook 
Express as their email client. I'm using qmail 1.03 on a RedHat 5.2 server. The 
maillog doesn't show any errors.

I tried installing the Pine IMAP server, hoping that the problem was attributed to 
POP3. The user was able to download the messages that were waiting the first time they 
used it, but afterwards were unable to retrieve new messages with large attachments.

Perhaps it has something to do with the length of time the server allows clients 
before it times out. Is there a way to change that?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eric
