Sorry about the two previous blank replies, I couldn't figure out how to use this. Anyway, I've tried all the above including totally uninstalling Norton, but nothing works. I even tried the clean up tool and I still can't send attachments. It lets me send them at times then shuts me down again. I have several Emails with attachments in my out box on both Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail. They're both not working. I was able to send for the short time there was a Windows Live web mail, but I tried the other day and apparently it's been dropped. I have the same problem with my employer's programing staff. They have to justify their existence so they keep tinkering with the programs. Just when you're used to it, they've changed again. Murphy's law; If it ain't broke, don't fix it.. I'm forced to rely on Windows Mail, either live or original, and they're not working.

Norton security products are among the top three troublemakers for
Windows Mail. First, be sure to disable its email scanning, for the
reason explained here:
http://thundercloud.net/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm
Disabling Norton's email scanning is sometimes insufficient. If so,
do a trial uninstall, followed by using their debris removal tool:

Reboot your computer, then test Windows Live Mail again. If successful,
you can try reinstalling Norton, but use 'custom' install, which should
give you an opportunity to skip installing the email scanning function.
Instead of uninstalling your antivirus, another option is to upgrade to
Windows Live Mail, which is more resistant to the adverse effects of overly
intrusive antivirus products:

Tell us in more detail what you tried: the name of your antivirus program,
what setting you changed, etc. Some antivirus programs keep interfering
with email even when scanning is ostensibly disabled.

I tried that, it dos'nt work
:
Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving,
and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting
changes and has even been responsible for loss of messages. Your
up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For
more, see:

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the
program and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the
option arises.
