Email stuck in outbox even though multiple emails sent

I am using Outlook 2003 and Windows XP. When I send an email with an
attachement it gets stuck in the Outbox. Usually it happens with attachements
over 1MB but sometimes it happens with smaller ones. Outlook will try
re-sending whenever it does an automatic send/receive (every 10 minutes) and
my antivirus reports scanning the outgoing message.

I get the message "Send/Receive Status 100%" even though the message is
still in the Outbox. I also get this message, "Sending' reported error
(0x8004210B) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from the
sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your
server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'"

I do not seem to have a problem moving or deleting the message. , and the
recepients usually report receiving the message multiple times. It seems to
be a pretty constant problem, but not all the time; last week I sent 4
messages of more than 1MB in a row and they all sent fine the first time, to
a receipient who has received multiple messages from me in the past.

Please help! This is a work account and it's very annoying to my clients!
 
I am doing this from my home laptop on a lite cable internet connection. I am
working online.
 
Ok Two more question. Are you using VPN to connect to Outlook or are you
using RPC over HTTP? Does this ever happen when you are in the office or is
it only when you are doing this from home?

Try increasing the server timeout value on the Advanced tab of your account
properties pages. Remove the stuck message by using the methods described
