Outlook 2007 baulks at sending larger attachments
Running Outlook 2007 on 64 bit Win 7 I'm experiencing trouble sending medium to large attachments. This is not an unknown issue I believe, but I've yet to see a good solution.
On sending a message with, say, 4Mb attachment, or maybe 2-3 mp3's totalling 10Mb, the message sits in the outbox and Outlook seems to continuously send data until forced to shut down. Message then has to be manually removed from Outbox. First time this happened it chewed about a Gb of my allowance!!
I've tried turning off AV scan of outgoing email but that's another story - BitDefender - it always scans outgoing email! (At present under action)
Also I've experimented adjusting server time-out to around 7 minutes.
I should add that the recipient may actually get the email plus attachment once or several times; meanwhile the message stubbornly remains in the outbox.
Any thoughts on this (common?) Outlook 2007 ailment would be appreciated.
