Can you describe the method you're using to attach files? It's usually not
an unwieldy process.

If you enable viewing your send/receive progress bar, are there any errors?
Is the mail stuck in the Outbox or does it actually end up in your Sent
Items folder?
 
Hi Nash,
I've had the same problem and when I contacted the service provider they
said it was to do with the distance from the exchange. Typical Australian
telecommunications problem. Don't know whether to believe that or not but I
do know that small emails are no problem but large attachments were timing
out before being sent. I went into the mail setup/email acc/view or
change/more settings and under advanced settings changed the server timeout
to 10 minutes. This has helped with email 1mb to 2mb but anything bigger is a
bit of a gamble. Give it a try and see what happens.
