Those who follow the chronicles of MacMania cruise such as the one guide position in the watery region west of Mexico acknowledge that the orbiter Internet access on the ship is expensive and not always reliable . With that in head , those of us for which a changeless connection to the Web is as full of life as oxygen have uprise strategy for getting what we necessitate from the Internet even over the hinkiest of connexion .
This takes the form of tailor eastward - mail accounts to take hold of chain mail from specific accounts only — myMacworldaccount but not my .Mac account , for example . Or configure a news reader to draw in only the latest five headline from a Top 10 list of sites .
But as theTranslator widgettells me : Los mejores plane puestos de ratones y de hombres van a menudo mal . All it choose was one corrupt e-mail message from a bandmate to bring the whole works to a break up halt .
Specifically , Entourage scrag on the final two kb of a five kilobit content from my band ’s horn player and the 16 messages queued behind it turn away to agitate until I grapple with that 5Kb ’s Charles Frederick Worth of “ Are we rehearsing tonight ? ”
Regrettably , that story has no webmail twin so I could n’t down it with a browser app . And Entourage wo n’t provide you to partially download messages under 5Kb .
So , what to do ?
change tocopherol - mail clients .
The in - case - of - emergency FireWire drive I carry include copy of most major Mac e - mail clients for place just like this . If any of those clients was likely to allow a lower partial download limit , it was Bare Bones Software’sMailsmith . Sure enough , even in Demo way ( which allows you to utilise the programme limit - free for 30 24-hour interval ) , I could make a soda water account ( Window : chronicle ) and set the Do n’t Download Mail Larger Than X K to any value I wanted .
I did just that , grab the first couple of Kb of the errant message with Mailsmith , wiped it off the server , and was back to cruising .
