Windows Vista Mail with Gmail pop

Hello all,

I was hoping someone can provide me the answer to something that's been bugging me for some time now.

I'm actually not a vista user, it's my mother in law that is the user. She's 73... what a great woman huh? She even created her own website. anyway... back to the question...

We registered a gmail account for her so I've setup her vista mail to download the emails for her automatically... what I find though is that with the bigger emails, vista mail doesn't download it. I don't have that problem with microsoft outlook downloading from gmail.

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks very much for your time. I'd appreciate any input.

What happens when she tries to get "bigger emails", does it timeout etc?
Can she got other than "bigger emails"?
Is her AV software set to scan mail?

Re: Windows Vista Mail with Gmail pop

hello, thanks for your reply. sorry for not replying sooner. I thought I'd get a notification when someone replies to my post. Anyhow...

What happens is that from time to time, I check her gmail account thru Internet explorer and notice that all the bigger emails just stays in the server. All the smaller size email gets downloaded into her windows mail.

I can't figure out what the problem is.
