email stuck in outgoing folder outlook 2003

raphif · 06-06-2007, 08:11 AM

Hi All,
My operating sys is XP Home SP2.
I'm attempting to send from my Outlook 2003 an email with file attachment (1MB) but the ,mail remains in the outgoing folder.
The recipient receives the message (I sent it to another email I own) but on my side the mail remains in the folder listed above. In the send process the Outbox send/Receive progress detail dialogue box indicates that it's processing my request but not completed. Part of the time the following message appears "``Sending and Receiving` reported error (0x8004210B): `The operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP)"
I tried to fix the problem by:
1) exit anti-virus prog. (BitDefender)
2) remove and add my POP3 email account. Also performed the "test account settings" and it went well but the problem persists.
3) if it is a ppt file zipping it won't help.
4) My ISP does not limit "outgoing" the size of attachments?
5) the workaround I do is send file from my gmail account but this is only a orkaroun i woulldnt want to proceed with
Can someone assist me PLEASE?
Thanks,
Rafael
