The outlook works fine if i jsut send plain email. It often shows the
message saying trying to connect to microsoft exchange server. the
admin of network says the account does not have any problem. When i
try to attach even a small file, the outlook simply hangs and i have
to stop it from task manager. I noticed i cannot send attachment from
web based email, yahoo gmail, as well. When i use the other computer,
the outlook and my web absed email are working fine. Please suggest
how can i fix this issue.
