    I recently changed my machine and installed Outlook Express 2000. I can send all types of attachments to gmail, yahoo but not to other microsoft mail client, I am sending on plain text. I do not get any error message. How do I solve this?

    What type of attachments are you sending?

    If you look at the sent mail, is the attachment still there?

    What happens if you forward/send mail from Gmail, do the people with microsoft mail client get the attachments?

    Certain attachments are blocked by Outlook. Easy to fix. What are the attachments?

    Thanks for responding, the attachment is still there on the sent folder like the email went through.

    They do not get the attachments, and gmail shows it has sent okay.

    The problem is not blocked email attachments in receiving but sending the attachments which are removed by Outlook, any office document, pdf, actually no attachment is being sent.

    If the people receiving can't get the attachments for Your Outlook and Gmail, the problem has to be on there end.

    "Outlook Virus Enhancements: Outlook now helps you and organizations safeguard against malicious viruses by blocking e-mail attachments that are associated with unsafe files. Outlook also prevents programs from gaining programmatic access to your address book or from send e-mail messages on the your behalf. You are notified and given the option of continuing or halting the action. This prevents propagation and the spreading or e-mail viruses to others. Additionally, Outlook gives administrators options to customize these settings to meet organizational needs."



    OL2002: Cannot Access Attachments

    Go to the "How to Customize Attachment Security Behavior" section.


    In Outlook Express-> Tools->Options->Security tab->UNcheck do not allow attachments.
