How can I get Outlook XP to download more then just the headers on the
messages in my IMAP accts w/o having to open up each message?   Is
there a way to do this in bulk?


Thanks in advance

Hi sherpaj-ga,

Here's how, to have Outlook XP download the entire message of every
mail from your IMAP server, instead of just the headers:

- Go to the menu "Tools"
- Click on "Options" 
- Choose the "Mail delivery" tab 
- Press the button "Send/Receive"
- Select correct group and press the "Edit" button
- select the correct IMAP account on the left-hand side
- select your inbox folder in the centre window
- select "download entire message and attachment" & press ok

If this isn't entirely clear, or you don't get it to work, feel free
to ask for a clarification.

I found the solution by looking into the Outlook options and
help-index, rather then surfing the net, but here are some additional
links that may be of interest anyway:

Hope this helps you solve the problem,

Kind regards,
