Outlook 2000: Limiting size of retrieved messages

[Steve Silverwood]

Help!

I have a user at work with Outlook 2000, who is trying to make use of
the option for limiting the size of email downloads. We've set the
system to permit only messages of a certain size or smaller to come
through, and to omit bringing larger messages down. My understanding is
that this setting is specific to dial-up connections, which is exactly
what we want. However, the setting seems to have no effect whatsoever.
Regardless of the size of the message or the attachment, the message is
retrieved from the server every time.

Unfortunately, since he's the President of the company, this puts a
fairly large gorilla on my back. Anyone have any suggestions?

Does no one have a suggestion here? I'm getting pretty anxious and have
thus far found no information elsewhere.
