Windows 95 Internet - Networking - Microsoft Internet Mail - Attachments Not Coming Through

If you are using MS's Internet Mail program, you may find times where mail is not coming through correctly and *no* warning is given. You'll just be sitting there, seeing the window that says messages are being retrieved, and suddenly it disappears. Before contacting your Internet Service Provider, check your hard disk. Internet Mail may be trying to download an e-mail with a large file attachment and you may not have the disk room to receive such an attachment. Granted, if you have 500 mb free, this probably isn't the problem, but if you are down to 0-2 megs, you may want to clean up some room before trying again to check your e-mail.
