This may not help your specific problem, and AS may well say it ain't
necessary, but on one occasion where I experienced AddMail 'timing out'
on me at virtually the same point in a big download 3 times in a row, I
fixed it by increasing AddMail's memory partition. I think I gave it
3Mb, which I'm sure is over the top, and I haven't had the problem
since.

I hadn't realised (probably 'cos I hadn't read the docs properly) that
AddMail loads its stuff into RAM before delivering it to the HD.
