Sending Emails With Attachments

[Marcie/Foodgirl 101]

I am using Outlook as my primary email service. I am unable to send an email
with attachments that total 2MB's or more. Why? How can I change this? I can
go out to my web based bellsouth server and send them, but this is a major
inconvenience. I have all of my emails from ATT/Bellsouth forwarded to my
Outlook.

Can someone help me with this challenge as I have been trying to figure this
our for some time now and am totally frustrated. Oh, here is the interesting
and puzzling part, I can receive large email files~!

Thanks,

Marcie

Sorry, this just isn't correct. You can't have mail "forwarded" from your
AT&T account to your Outlook. Outlook isn't a server. You can only forward
mail to a mailbox on a server, represented by a mail address.

When you try to send a message that is 2MB or larger, exactly what happens?
What version of Outlook are you using? What's your Windows version (usually
not that important to know, but knowing it may save time in figuring out the
problem)? What type of account did you define (e.g., POP/SMTP)?

AT&T has explicit instructions on their help web pages that state how to
configure Outlook to access the AT&T/Yahoo! server. Did you follow them?
What did the AT&T support person say when you contacted them?

Do you have an antivirus program installed and configured to scan your
incoming and outgoing mail? If so, uninstall it and reinstall it without the
mail scanning feature. You'll still be protected.
