That sounds like trying to achieve the Holy Grail of correct Usenet
posting etiquette.
I used to be more idealistic about this, but I've learned that most
posters here are first timers to Usenet, unaware of its conventions.
They're desperate for a quick answer that will fix their urgent problem.
If instead all they get is a lecture, the less persistent ones will
just go away, disappointed and angry.


Well, fair enough, but what about Cat who was the OP in this thread.

Look at the thread and find the answer to that problem, from a newbie point
of view?

Just because Carla hijacked it.

That error indicates either that you cancelled the send because of a timeout
or the message contains a large attachment?

Move the message from the Outbox again to drafts, close and reopen WM, go to
the message in drafts, double click it and try another send.

Or try to send a simple test message to yourself first, from an empty
outbox.

Thanks, I closed and reopened windows mail, sent myself a test and was able
to finally get everything sent. FOr some reason I keep having to go to tools
and uncheck work offline. I have verizon DSL as ISP and had no problems like
this before getting this new computer with Vista 10 days ago. I also keep
getting pops up boxes like "dial up connection, select the service you want
to connect to"...should I juct click close, better yet...how do I make it
stop!.

With regard to those dial-up pop-ups:
In Internet Explorer go to Tools, Internet Options, Connections.
The box under "Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings" should be
blank, and "Never dial a connection" should be selected but grayed out.

Next, in Windows Mail go to Tools, Accounts, select your mail account,
Properties, Connection. What does it show for connection?
You must either leave that unselected (in which case WM will use whatever
connection IE uses), or else select the Local Area Network.

Then, go to Tools, Options, Connection, the first box should be checked,
and the second box unchecked.

If all that checks out, but you still have the dial-up pop-ups, the account
may be corrupted.
Delete the account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate the account.

Thanks so much Gary,
I ended up deleting & recreating the account. I sent a test and received
it...only after doing 'send & receive all'. Is there a way to avoid having to
do that? With outlook express...emails just appeared automatically in my
'inbox'.

Tools menu>General tab, check for new messages every ##, set this no lower
than 5 minutes or your ISP might react adversely?

Also ensure that the check box is checked to include your account when
receive or sync, @ tools>accounts>select your account>properties>general
tab.

I also had this problem. When my ISP finally got around to answering my
email, they said they had made changes to their outgoing server. All I had
to do was delete one letter from my outgoing server setting and that fixed
the problem.
