Hi,

I can send smaller emails (one or two lines), however, I cannot send anything large. Any ideas as to why this is happening or how I can fix it?

Almost sounds like a routing issue. Try a different access # for your ISP (if possible). Also, which email program are you using? A little more info would be much appreciated :)

I came, I saw, I connected at 48.8...
 
I am using Outlook 98 and can receive messages and send small ones some times. When I try to send larger files with attachments or just a few paragraphs it gets stuck in the send box and won't send.

Any Ideas?
 
This has happened to me to. The advice I got, was to write all my messages in the word processing program (ANY length allowed) and then send that to the recipient of the e-mail. A bit complicated, but there are no length restrictions. Tiffany
 
The problem may be that there is a limit on message size imposed somewhere. It may be in your Outlook, or on the email server, or at the ISP.

If you are using MS Exchange, then the Exchange Administrator can impose a message size limit. If you are using a local email server (in your workplace) then limits can be imposed there. If you are using dial-up and the Internet Email service in Outlook, then either your ISP has a limit (unusual) or there is a place to set a size limit in Outlook (IIRC in Tools>Options).

If there is a message size limit, then using a word processor won't help, and will be, besides, horrible for recipients of your messages...
