I have trouble sending emails with attachments of about 2MB and upwards.
There is no size limit on my connection and ISP. Others in our company do not have the problem. And I receive mail ok.

The outgoing mail stays in the out box and continues to be sent. The receipient gets multiple copies unless i delete it from my out box. It may eventually make it to the sent tray if i leave it in the out box long enough.
I have been putting new messaging services such as Yahoo messenger on my machine which may have created the problem. Im running XP.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
 
Ok it might be a time out issue with sending the mail. Your going to want to go in to Outlook and change the time out setting heres how you do that.

Tool - E-mail Accounts - view or change existing user account - (Select the e-mail account and Click Change)- Ok now under the more setting tab - Click Advanced Tab and set the Sever Time out to a higher time setting.

Hope that helps
