Tesco inbox to my Outlook Express inbox ?

Well at 22.19 Tesco.net service status says everything OK. How do you KNOW
they are taking a long time to get from Tesco to your machine?

You can watch some clues about what is going on in the OE status bar.

OE/ View/ Layout/ Basic section - check Status bar

The status bar lives down at the very bottom edge of the OE folder view.
When you are in the Inbox, it tells you the # messages, # unread and
further to the right it has a 'working online' section and a section on
the far R about the engagement with the mailserver which tells about
connecting, authorizing, etc.

If you watch your status bar during the interaction of send or receive
or send/receive, you may sometimes get a clue about what part is going
on the longest.

There are some other strategies involving activating the logging
function in maintenance - troubleshooting, but very often that isn't as
helpful as seeing/watching the status bar.

You can also tinker with some telnet routines to determine if the server
is pokey or something else.

too big? say BMP's or jpegs over 100KB. 3. If neither what *is* included
in the message, specifically attachments and their size would be
relevant. 4. Is the message plain text or (for some stupid reason) is
someone sending you a formatted document like one from word?

To Summarize, We don't know how fast you're getting what we don't know
you're getting.
