emails not always downloading in outlook - using dialup!

[unwashed potato!]

been emailed by a friend about a problem she has when viewing emails in outlook on a dialup connection.

she basically said

Often SOME of the emails in my inbox are not 'fully downloaded' I can see titles, but can't download messages. This usually comes right, after a number of attempts at downloading but is a bit of a pain. can this problem be addressed.
first its 'not displayed in reading pane', and then still says it must be 'marked for downloading'

i really have no clue how to help with this as i never used dialup and emails so unaware of how it used to work. can anyone offer some advice on what she could do to get the emails to download fully?

edit: this is ms office outlook 2003, not outlook express

LOL - how old does that make me feel!!!!

Sounds like Outlook is set to only download the message header or is set to a message size. Not in front Outlook Express at the moment, but Google will be your friend here!
