How did you install OE? It was already on your machine.

What happens when you try to send an e-mail with an attachment? Any error
message?

Define: I can only access emails for 30 seconds after I received them. What
happens to them?

Very important:

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program
and reinstall in Custom Mode and opt out of e-mail scanning when the option
arises.

I installed OE yesterday. I tried sending an email without attaching a
file, and it worked. I tried to attach a file to an email, and it didn't
let me send the email. When I receive emails, it skips emails with files
attached. I can only access emails for 30 seconds after I received them.
How can I fix it?
