Outlook Express 6.0

[Guest]

When I insert a picture into my emails they show them being sent but they
never arrive. I can send message only or an attachment no problems. When I
click insert picture and insert one then click send the icon shows it being
sent. Its like its stuck in the outbox. Any ideas??????

Possibly your security software, or your recipient's security software,
or your ISP or their ISP are blocking the picture. Or one or both ISPs
may not accept an attachment if it's too large.

If a copy of the sent message appears in Sent Items folder, the problem lies
somewhere outside of OE.

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown
your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place.

- WinXP SP2 only: If your machine is fully up-to-date at Windows Update,
installing the following patch (KB918766) will help to avoid such data loss
in the future:

This patch will be included in the next Cumulative Update for Outlook
Express/WinXP SP2.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
