AOL IMAP Download Complete Item

[Paul]

I have two email folders in Outlook 2003, my business email and AOL. I set
the AOL up as an IMAP account and under the "send/ receive" settings, I have
it set to"download complete item including attachment." The AOL headers are
being automatically downloaded, but the entire message and attachments are
not. In other words, I have to click on the message in order to get it to
download into Outlook.

Incidentally, my Google and Hotmail accounts are both set up as IMAP
accounts in Outlook 2003 and both automatically download the entire message.
Is there some setting in AOL as there is in Google that needs to be turned
on?

I don't have much experience using IMAP with Outlook, but for sure there
isn't any setting on the AOL end.
