663748 2008-04-29 03:13:00 I've recently installed Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2008 on my PC, I am running Windows XP Home edition and Outlook 2002 .

I've noticed a problem when trying to send large e-mails e . g . e-mails with attachments or with images embedded in them . When I send them Outlook reports that they are being sent but after a while I get an error message saying that Outlook timed out trying to connect to the sending server and to contact my ISP .

The e-mails remain in the Outbox and never get moved to the Sent Items folder, but they are actually sent as I have had people telling me they have received the same e-mail several times ('cos we thought it hadn't been sent we kept trying) and when I send them to myself I get the same error message and results but I do receive the e-mail .

I turned off Trend Micro and it all works fine, so I have disabled the scanning of outgoing mail in case that was the problem but that didn't help .

Has anyone else seen this or have any ideas how to fix this problem?

Cheers
SH

Leave it turned off, you don't need it.

663750 2008-04-29 03:52:00 No, that's not the cause because I have already disabled that and it is still happening. That's what I initially thought would be causing the problem but it is still happening even with the outgoing mail scan disabled. Saint Huck (2424)
663751 2008-04-29 04:02:00 Trend Micro is bloated and buggy and doesn't work well at the best of times. When the time comes to renew it, change to an Eset product.

I've seen problems like yours, where the only resolution was changing to a different AV product.

No my problem was different to that, I'd already checked out that site but couldn't find the problem and that's when I decided to ask the good folks of Press F1 :)

The problem is now fixed, I changed my firewall network profile in trend Micro and extended the time out period in my e-mail account and it seems to have done the trick.


Thanks to everyone for their responses.:thanks
