NOTE: These procedures only apply if you have installed Outlook with the Internet Mail Only (IMO) option. To determine your installation type, on the Help menu, click About Microsoft Outlook. In the About Microsoft Outlook dialog box you should see "Internet Mail Only" if you have the Internet Mail Only option installed.



SUMMARY
If you use dial-up networking (DUN), you can filter large messages to prevent them from downloading by clicking Options on the Tools menu, clicking Mail Delivery, and then under Dial-up, in the Don't download messages larger than box, typing the size in kilobytes (KB) that you want to limit downloaded files to.

However, this option is for Post Office Protocol (POP) servers only, and does not prevent messages from Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) servers from downloading.



MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is by design.
