If your using IE5 Outlook Express you can turn on logging on the SMTP/POP3
which spools all commands to a file, maybe this might help.

Subject: Re: Problem getting large e-mails with Netscape/Outlook
from what i recall someone saying previously on the list, this is due to
the user setting the 'check for mail' timer too short and the MUA
resetting the pop3 connection, ie:
telnet mail.server.com pop3
+POP3 server blah whatever ready+
user xs
pass yeahright
list
retr 1 #.... and wait and wait and wait, then say, 1 minute later
list
retr 1 #.... wait wait, 1 minute
list
retr 1 # .....
anyway, i belive thats the behavior
-xs
end
