First, don't post in all caps. It is considered shouting.

Second, turn off any scanning of email by your antivirus program. It's
unnecessary and can cause exectly the symptom you describe.

Third, lengthen the server timeout value on the Advanced tab of your account
properties.

Finally, make sure your send/receive interval is no less than ten minutes.

Hi Brian,

can you explain me why the send/receive interval should not be less than ten
minutes, please?!

Because it puts a lot of extra strain on the server - no mail is that
important that you need to check it every minute or two. We recommend 8 -10
min but on a fast internet connection, 5 min might be ok., Any less is too
much strain on the mail server - if every mailbox owner did it that
frequently, the server would crash from the load (although most would deny
access to prevent crashing).

Outlook uses extended mapi to send and receive and if its not finished with
the last receive when the next one kicks in, it can lock up and mail won't
send. Other features will work, but mail will not send or receive until you
restart outlook or reboot.

I am on slow dialup and even with my server timeout set at the maximum of 10
minutes with my security off I can't send an email attachment greater than
2mb. How can I increase this timeout to enable sending large emails?

Under the conditrions you describe, I'd try to find another way, like FTP or
gmail (since that can be done via a web interface).
