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...

Sorry for Typos....
