Yes, they just sit in the outbox. The error message is as follows... "A
time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Subject 'Fw: Note To
Self', Account: 'Julie Mello', Server: 'sendmail.mello.com', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19". I have never had any
trouble with Norton in the past, but I turned it off and tried to send again
with still the same results.

Do they sit in the Outbox? Any error message? Have you tried removing Norton
completely. It, and McAfee, are notorious for not working well with OE.

I would suggest either Avast, (freeware), or NOD32, (not free).

In the case of Avast, choose Custom Installation and under Resident
Protection, uncheck: Internet Mail and Outlook/Exchange.

I have started up my new computer, transferred all of my data from the old
one and just discovered that I cannot send mail with attachments. I am
using
XP Pro as opposed to XP Home before, but still OE6. Have tried various
suggestions in the posts with no luck; Norton is set to NOT scan outgoing
email, tried deleting and replacing Outbox .dbx file, created a new
identity
on OE with the same results. Will send text emails as long as there isn't
an
attachment with it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
