Outlook won't send mail with attachments.

[webrabbit]

About a month ago, Outlook suddenly quit sending any mail with a zipped attachment. Actually, I don't send any other type of attachment, so I wouldn't know if it works with other types.

The mail just sits in the outbox with no messages or flags.

It's possible it has hit a size limit, though I'd have expected a warning. See if there's stuff within Outlook that can be stored somewhere else.

I clicked on Tools, Mailbox Cleanup, and AutoArchive, but nothing happened.

I would like to archive old e-mails, both received and sent. I have plenty of space on my hard disks, but perhaps I could move some to a CD-R. But how do I move (archive) them?

What I usually do is save the text as a word document and delete the item. Also be sure you have emptied the 'Deleted' folder.

I open a new .pst file - move the items into there and then close the pst and burn to disk.

This just makes it very fast if you need to put them back.

(In fact, due to the historical issues of pst file sizes, I usually have two or three at a time, at the moment they are 2005.pst, 2006.pst... you get the idea)
