Hello NCoronha,
The problem is.... MS Outlook AND MSN mail will not allow attachements that
are .exe to come through your mail box. They will view them as a potential
threat to your pc.
The sender has to package the file before sending.
Meaning, they should zip the files then send them out. Then you'll be able
to get them in your Outlook and MSN mail.
I suggest that they split the file into parts if it is larger than 10MB.
You'll get them faster that way. You'll have to rejoin them after receipt.
(Easy task)
Winrar is an easy program to use for packaging.
hope I was of help to you.

If you have a virus scanner that integrates with Outlook, disable/uninstall
this integration and try again.
See http://www.msoutlook.info/question/20

The lack of detail in your post prevents us from giving us a more direct or
precise answer.

Include at least;
-your version of Outlook (Help-> About)
-type of mail account (POP3, IMAP, Exchange, HTTP, Outlook Connector,
Exchange, other...?)
-any errors in their exact wording as they are presented to you.

There's no evidence whatsoever in the original post that this is a
contributing factor. The OP said all mail with attachments are having
issues and I'd be surprised if the attachments are all EXEs

From the looks of it, I think you need a name change:

Try "Pooper Jackson" on for size. I think it fits.
