| 236183 | 2004-05-13 08:13:00 | What was the original file size, and what size do you end up with after XP has made it smaller? Is the image a .bmp or .jpeg (jpg) or some other extension? | Jen C (20) | ||
| 236184 | 2004-05-14 06:35:00 | The original size is 588 kb The size when I make it smaller is 27.4 kb (jpeg) What else can I try?? |

| 236186 | 2004-05-14 06:39:00 | 27.4 kB is quite appropriate for emailing. Can you tell us what program you are using for email, and if you are using a POP3 email (@xtra, @paradise, @clear etc), or webmail (hotmail etc) |

| 236187 | 2004-05-15 05:15:00 | we are using outlook express, the photo is approx 110kb,email starts to go but wont go any further, then we get a message saying your smtp server has not responded in 210 seconds, would you like to wait another 210 seconds, we click yes but after 210 seconds again we get the same message | Roseyglow (2770) | ||
| 236188 | 2004-05-15 06:50:00 | If you've got any sort of photo editor why not just resize it, save as with the new size and then send it. I find that resizing to about 750 pixels wide by whatever long, usually gives a convenient and pretty good definition file size for emailing. Gif format gives the smallest file sizes in B and W. Probably jpeg is best for colour. |

| 236189 | 2004-05-15 07:29:00 | Try disabling any option on your antivirus software that scans outgoing email. Or try with the software disabled for a test. Using a firewall? The problem could be with your ISP though, as that size email should send just fine. I regularly send emails up to 5,000 kB in size without any error. |
