SYMPTOMS
When you try to retrieve the message header field from an e-mail message by using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) protocol, the field takes longer than expected to download.



CAUSE
This issue may occur if the following conditions are true:
 * The message that you are trying to retrieve has a large header field or contains a large attachment.

-and-
 * You use the FETCH command to retrieve the field.



MORE INFORMATION
The FETCH command retrieves the whole e-mail message. The FETCH command does not retrieve individual fields. When you try to retrieve a single field from a message, the e-mail message and any attachments are downloaded before the individual field is available.
