Since I hook emails off the outlook server before the scans take place (but end up reading them after the scans have completed) I only receive the preview link (which is dead by then because the scan is complete).
If I understand you correctly, you are downloading messages out of the outlook server while the scanning process is happening. If this is the case, you are seeing that your actions and those of the server are incompatible, and one has to stop so you can resume handling your email properly.
Fortunately I do not have this issue, so I would not know how to stop in on the Outlook side. My hunch is that this is an administrator decision pushed on you, and you cannot disable it, so the only thing left to do is to change your flow of work. Here are some suggestions that you can explore:
1. Be selective about what you download. If your tool to download message allows filters, create one to not to download everything and only what you are ready to read.
2. Filter messages upon delivery. If messages have attachments, send them to a special folder. Then manually check messages in that folder and download them through a different process that you download those from your inbox.
3. Do not download and erase the message in the server, but download a copy of it and keep track of what you have downloaded. Then use a tool that can syncrhonize what you have downloaded and needs to be deleted. If the tool is smart, you can delete a message from your local folder and make your tool re-download it when needed.
I hope this helps. -- Eduardo _______________________________________________ Alpine-info mailing list Alpine-info@u.washington.edu http://mailman12.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/alpine-info
