at this point i don't have norton or mcafee installed. email client is OE6.
The email will simply stall at around 60% complete and I will get an error
message regarding my smtp server has not responded. But like i have said, i
have checked with my ISP and my setup is correct

Please post the error message you get in its entirety. What do you use for
an e-mail client. Do you have McAfee or Norton installed, and if so, what
versions.

I hope there is someone here who can help me as I think I have exhausted
all
other options and avenues! I am unable to send any emails that have
attachments of any type through OE6 with SP2. I have tried -
-changing registry values
- reinstalling XP
- different email clients (thunderbird, still did not work)
- checked ISP settings which are all correct
- disabling firewall and antivirus
- extending the timeout time on outlook to longer than 1 minute
- have checked the box to 'allow pictures'
- contacted Microsoft helpdesk which told me to create a new identity for
email which did a big fat nothing.

I have read other posts in here regarding this and have tried the advice
which they have been given (including XP smoker which again did not help).
My hard drive has also recently been reformated so I am pretty much
starting
with a new machine.
Please help!
