Attachments are not some magical cloud of bytes floating somewhere with a thread connected to your e-mail. Attachments are *in* the body of the e-mail as MIME parts where the attachment gets encoded into a long plain text (since ALL e-mail regardless of format is transmitted as text). You cannot send your e-mail without also including the encoded attachments within it. So what does "not up-loading" mean? That your e-mail sits in the Outbox? If so, is there an error message? Check the quotas for your e-mail account. It is likely you are exceeding the maximum size for an e-mail message that is allowed by your personal-use e-mail account. If the max size for an e-mail is 10MB then that is the biggest e-mail that you can send using that e-mail provider. Also, when attaching files, they get encoded into a long text string and that bloats the size of the content for that file by 137%, or more. So a 9MB attached file could be over 12MB, or larger, hence exceeding the max-size-per-message quota for your account with your unidentified e-mail provider. You never mention WHICH version of Windows and Outlook that you use. You never identified the TYPE of the attached file to the e-mail. You never identified the SIZE of that attachment (either as the file's size or the size of your e-mail after attaching the file which can be seen by saving a draft copy and checking the Size column in the Drafts folder). E-mail is NOT a reliable file transfer mechanism. It wasn't intended or designed for that. There is no CRC check on the file to ensure integrity. There is no resume to re-retrieve the file if the e-mail download fails. There is no guarantee the e-mail will arrive uncorrupted. Large e-mails can generate timeouts and retries due to the delay when anti-virus programs interrogate their content. Stop using e-mail to send large files. It is rude to the recipient. Not every recipient might want your large file. Not every recipient has high-speed broadband Internet access. Many users still use slow dial-up access, especially if all they do is e-mail. You waste your e-mail provider's disk space and their bandwidth to send a huge e-mail. You waste the recipient's e-mail provider disk space and bandwidth. You eat up the disk quota for the recipient's mailbox (which could render it unusable so further e-mails get rejected due to a full mailbox). You irritate users still on dial-up that have to wait eons waiting to download your huge e-mail. Some users have usage quotas (i.e., so many bytes/month) and you waste it with a file that they may not want. Stop being rude. Take the large file out of the e-mail. Save the file in online storage and send the recipient a URL link to the file. Your e-mail remains small. It is more likely to arrive. It is more likely to be seen. The recipient can decide whether or not and when to download your large file. Be polite. Your ISP probably allows many gigabytes of online storage for personal web pages. Upload your file there and provide a URL link to it. Other methods (of using online storage), all free, a http://www.adrive.com/ (50GB max quota, 2GB max file size) http://www.driveway.com/ (500MB max file size) http://www.filefactory.com/ (300MB max file size) http://www.megashares.com/index.php (10GB max file size) http://www.rapidupload.com/ (300MB max file size) http://www.sendspace.com/ (300MB max file size) http://www.spread-it.com/ (500MB max file size) http://www.transferbigfiles.com/ (1GB max file size) http://zshare.net/ (500MB max file size) http://www.zupload.com/ (500MB max file size) If it is sensitive content and when storing it online in a public storage area or to guard it against whomever operates the online storage service, remember to encrypt it. |

Please provide further details:
What happens why you try to attach an item to your email? Are you able to attach the item successfully? What happens when you try to send the attachment? Is there a send/receive error message? You must view the send/receive progress to see this. Does the item sit in your Outbox? What version of Outlook do you use? What type of mail account do you have?
