Outlook getting 'timeouts' when sending email

Hi All,
I recently moved from a 20gb drive to a 60 gb drive in my laptop. To do this
I needed to run sysprep.

Since moving, IE6 and Outlook XP have been failing to retain passwords.
Every time I restart my pc and try to send/receive the password dialog box
pops up even though I have typed my email passwords into the accounts..

The other bigger problem is Outlook has been getting timeout errors when
sending 200K+ attachments.

I have tried increasing the timeout on the send in the outlook accounts with
no luck. The send still seems to go through but the email does not arrive
with the attachment at the receiver.

Has anyone out there seen this before? Does anyone know how to fix these two
Outlook problems?

Thanks

Peter Nolan
 
For the first problem with passwords, if you are still having problems after
applying both the SP 1 & 2 patches, then see if this article addresses your
problemL

For the second problem, are you sending to non-Outlook recipients? If yes,
try changing to plain text and do not use Word as the mail editor.
