When I attach a small doc (300 -400KB) to an email, the message goes out immediately. when the attachment is 3MB, it message remains indefinitely in the Outbox. I tried forcing the send by selecting tools>send/receive>send all, but it still does not send the email. any suggestions.

When I attach a small doc (300 -400KB) to an email, the message goes out
immediately. when the attachment is 3MB, it message remains indefinitely in
the Outbox. I tried forcing the send by selecting tools>send/receive>send
all, but it still does not send the email. any suggestions.

*Something* has to happen. Watch the Progress window (Window menu).
Does it try to send and fail (with an error)? Does it just take forever
and time out?

That said, the problem is likely with your provider. Either your
connection can't handle it or your mail server can't handle it.
