Can't send email with attachement properly

03-13-2008

Hello!

Whenever i try to send an email with a attachement bigger than like
100kb, Live Mail stop sending all my email. Then I can to the
'sending' process and start it again, it will send maybe one email,
and then I have to do a stop and go again until all the messages are
sent, except the voluminous one which never get sent...

Anybody can help?
This is very frustrating since i use my email adress for work all
day...!

Have never seen this issue and I regularly send attachments much bigger than
100K.
Is your attachment one of the blocked ones (vbs, exe etc. files)? or is it
just a regular picture or word docx?
Are you on dialup? Also what OS and which version of WLM are you using?

I'm having the same problem...either these large attachments don't go through
at all or they take forever. I just bought this new computer with Vista and
am not at all impressed with WLM. Since I am no computer expert, these type
of problems throw me for a loop. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how
to remedy this problem?

Firstly, make sure your antivirus, anti-spyware/adware, and firewall programs have all of their e-mail scanning options turned off. The e-mail scanning option is a redundant feature.

Secondly, double check all the settings for your e-mail account (Tools->Accounts...->Properties [button]) in WLMail, such as servers, SSL, and port numbers etc.

Is it a POP, IMAP, or Hotmail account?

If you have more than one account, do they all fail to send such attachments?

Do you get an error message when the sent e-mail fails to send?

Is your Internet connection Dial-up?

What version of Windows Live Mail are you using?

Peter.R - Thanks for your help. I will check my anti-virus, anti-spyware and
firewall options today. Also my settings as you suggested. I don't know
what type of email acct mine is...it's either POP or IMAP. And I only have
one account.
I have received an error one time, but can't remember exactly what it said.
Now it goes through but can take forever.
I have DSL, not dial up and I'm not sure what version of WLM I am using, but
it should be the latest one, since I just downloaded it last week.

I will try your suggestions and respond again if the problem continues.

I turned off the email scan for my anti-virus program, but couldn't find that
option for my firewall. I sent a 5.4GB pdf file and it took 1 hour and 10
minutes to send it...but it only took me 2 minutes to receive it....this is
very aggrevating as I have to send large attachments frequently for my
business. Any ideas why it takes so long to send attachments but I can
receive them quickly?
