Hi Mary I have checked all the settings you suggested they are all ok. Yes
I can send and receive mail using outlook I have no problem receiving or
forwarding emails with attachments I just can't send attachments to an email
recipient. The only way to send them is to open a new email and click on
attach a file. I also have a laptop that I installed office 2003 on and I am
having the same problem. John

Have you set up Outlook as your default email program in Internet Options,
Programs? Can you use Outlook to send and receive mail? It sounds like you
never set up automatic mail polling in Outlook. Set it up in OL, Tools,
Options, Mail Setup, Send Receive button. Set it to no less than every 10
minutes or it won't work.

Hi All I am having a problem sending files by right clicking and send to mail
recipient the file loads in an out going email box but won't send. I have
noticed that if I save the email first I then find it in my inbox and am able
to just click send and it sends fine. I never had this problem with outlook
express any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks John
