    Anything to help define the cause. I do keep it set not to download
    messages larger than 350 kb, which means I have to click to download
    the image files in question but that has never been a problem in the
    past.

    I had to look, but yes it is set to leave messages on their server,
    I don't usually do that but I've been testing another computer F-17,
    and that must have seemed like a good idea at the time? Easy enough
    to change if you think it might cause trouble but again this is all
    stuff I've done in the past without running into problems.
