I turned off e-mail scanning in my anti-virus program, deleted Outbox.dbx,
checked the configuration in OE and still the messages don't go out.
There are no repeated identities [in fact, there is no other identity]. This
is frustrating.

I have to go to hotmail.com in order to send messages, and I can't even
attach pictures by using the right-click option "Send to" - "Mail recipient".
It opens the hotmail new message window but it doesn't attach anything [I
have the beta version which doesn't have the "Attach Pictures" option].

Thanks in advance.
