Whenever I try to download emails with file sizes larger than ~70 KB,
localhost server timeout occurs. What I tried to do is transfer
temporarily those emails with attachments to a folder in Yahoo mail.
However, another problem occurred when multiple attachments are
present in the message. So I have two problems here:
1. Cannot download attachments larger than 70 KB
2. Cannot download multiple attachments.

Could you give me a hand please?
No error appears on the console.

I had a similar issue with timeout, on Yahoo Webmail Thunderbird, although with a larger email (5 or 6 MB I think), and Thunderbird Got Stuck Saying "Downloading 1 Message", then 40-60 seconds later, giving a "Time Out Error". I was able to go to Hotmail and Forward to another account (AOL), and download to Thunderbird. I also Created a New Folder in Hotmail (Online) and called it "Saved on Hotmail" so I can move or copy to it, like on Saved on AOL.

On My Question, Here,  "Alanrf" Suggested the Following, Quote:

" Thunderbird > Tools > Options > Advanced tab > Network and Disk Space
tab

Increase network connection timeout (I have mine set to 300 seconds). "

I Checked mine, it was set at 60 seconds, so I gather that sets the Time Thunderbird will wait for message Downloads...

Good Luck, unless someone knows Better...

Ralph :-)

Sorry for Typos....

Thank you for the quick reply on my other thread.
This settings worked for me because I usually send MB of data through
my ym

Tools> Options > Set time out to 600 sec.

Now I can download both multiple attachments and large file sizes.

Thnx
