Email task hanging

I have a project set up with only one step. To check an email folder and copy the attachments into a directory. It looks like the files are being saved in the directory but the project job stays in execution mode. It never finishes. I've set debug on in the log but I don't see any error messages as to why this would happen.
Is there a separate step I have to do the tell the email task to end?

It looks like this may be a file size issue? I'm noticing if I have small file attachments they save OK and the project completes but if I have a 15 MB attachment the job stays active for hours until I cancel it.

Is there a file size limitation?

There should be no limitations on how large the file size is.

I will have our 5 star support team reach out to you so that we can take a more detailed look at your project and assist you further.

OK. I think I see the problem. The project job is not hanging. It looks like the file attachment is just taking a long time saving to a network share. I can see the byte count increasing but very slowly.

I need to talk to my sys admins to see why this would be so slow.
