Hi,
I have an eircom.net email address which I have been using along with outlook express for many years without much problem.

My problem now is that it seems there is too big a message in the inbox to download. I have got to message 12 in the inbox out of 22 messages and it just jambs there....about a quarter way over on the progress bar. I have tried unsucessfully for an hour or two to read all my incoming e-mails ( most of which will be spam + blocked anyway in dure couse ) without success. What can I do ? Sorry I am not very computer literate in discribing the problem. Thanks in advance.
 
I had the same problem a few years ago so I called them and the solution was to erase all of my mail at their end. This worked but you will lose any mail you haven't already read in Outlook.
 
You can log in on the web via Internet Explorer and view your email without having to download it. You can then open or delete the offending email. That's all provided you remember your email password.

Can you log into your email via their webmail service and delete the offending message manually?
 
yes Rainy Day -- [broken link removed] and enter username and password and you can view mail without downloading and delete spam etc. Remember though that the next time you open outlook express the mails that you received through webmail will not come through unless you forward them to yourself
 
Where's the spam button for eircom mail? I have a hotmail, eircom and yahoo email address - i've been with yahoo ten years and it's by far the best and most efficient.
 
Agreed, tiny allowance and no spam filter makes eircom a pain. I only use it for signing up for stuff that I knoe I'll get spam from - otherwise I use google - never have to delete anything

Agreed - anyone using eircom.net as a "working" e-mail address needs their head examined. All that ever comes through is piles of junk, suspect packages etc. Now having said that, when i first got an acc about 5/6 years ago i remember there being something about paying for an upgraded service which i believe entailed some form of spam blocker. but hey, why pay for something that is now the norm in the market for free! they just have not moved with the times.

i mainly use o2, although with recent 'upgrade' it is a bit sluggish at times. have others such as yahoo.
