Vista - Something is plugging up the WLM outbox

Something is plugging up the WLM outbox

My wife is finding in her outbox emails she thought had gone out hours
before. Doesn't seem to be any consistency as to the type, size,
attachments, etc. We're using WLM through the ATT/Yahoo server, and if she
goes to her Yahoo website account, she can send the same mails out with no
problem. If, after hitting "Send/Receive" you go to the Status (??) Box (the
thing that shows what tasks are being performed), it says it is sending
emails, but the meter bar creeps along very slowly. No problem receiving
mail.

Re: Something is plugging up the WLM outbox

What antivirus is being used, and is it set to scan e-mails?

Is dial-up or broadband used to access the Internet?

What operating system is being used?

gDay Ranman

I'll ask some questions that might help you isolate the problem

Did this problem exist previously, of not then what changed ?

How big are the attachments in the mail items ?

Is the machine that wife your wife is using the only macine using that link
?

If are other machines using it, what are they doing - anyone running
unthrottled torrents ?

What's your upload speed limit - typically upload limits are slower than
downloads ?

Can other users send similar mail via same link and SMPT server.?

Let us know how if these questions help, and of course answer them if they
don't.

Are you using 'smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com' with port 25 and no SSL? If so, you
are wrong. You were supposed to change to 'smtp.att.yahoo.com' with port 465
and using SSL. Several months ago.

Ahh the benefit of local knowledge is a wonderful thing,

I felt sure it was someone pumping torrents down the wire.
