Problems attaching files to email

[P D Sterling]

I am asking Windows NG because I wonder if I am creating a problem for
myself. Very often in attaching files to email, I have an inordinate
wait while in the attach/browse dialogue.

My Pictures has about 12 folders in it, one of which has 1054 folders.
Is there a finite limit to how many I can have? Should I regroup or is
this unrelated to my current prob?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Your question is too vaguely asked; what kind of email system are you using,
client-based or webmail? I don't think your My Pictures folder has anything
to do with this type of performance problem. If you are using client-based
email, which email client are you using ? If webmail, which web browser do
you use to access the webmail? If it is Hotmail, it may just be that Hotmail
is slow and there is very little if anything you can do about this issue
besides switching to another webmail provider.

My apologies - my grasp of how my computer works is so limited. I am
Windows XP SP2, email client is Thunderbird, although my new web host is
suggesting I go to Outlook, so vee shall see!

However, 99.44% of my work is through the email client, and I do webmail
only as a last resort. I note from my computer club that I am 1 in 20
(!) of residential, non-commercial users.

Most often the Internet Service Providers (ISP) tend to place a limit
on the size of the attachments. This is usually for the receive of
the email but some also place this on the outgoing side also. Check
with your ISP.
