Email receipts

[Mr-H]

I was recently on holiday and used a download dongle (T mobile) to access the net. I felt it was really rubbish, and would not really want to use it again - I'd rather look for free wifi connections i think. I found that the internet connection might show 4 or 5 lines of signal strength, but the download speed fluctuated between 0 and 45Kbps, and moved either way like a yoyo! To rub salt in the wounds, it took over an hour to downloads 60 emails (because for 5 days i could not gain access to the net), only for the connection to drop out. The next time i was able to get on line, the first 60 downloaded again before the 'new' ones could start to download. My question is - is there any way that i could have stopped the early emails from downloading again and again? Can they simply be killed off? If they contain pictured or PPS these take so long - can they be stopped in the middle of the download? I really have to get this sorted before the next holiday!!

Use QuickDelete, it allows you to connect, download just the headers, and then selectively delete the ones you don't want.
