Outgoing email attachments hang up. Using Mozila Thunderbird
I have been using the above email program ever since Outlook quit working competely. I am able to receive and to send normal messages. When I attempt to send photos (72 dpi) or even a .doc attachment it does not complete and tells me to check my configeration. To my knowlege the configeration is O.K.

What is the error message exactly? Are you sure that your configuration allows outgoing attachments? Do you have an AntiVirus running in the backgorund? Have you enabled virus chacking on your email client? I do not use Thunderbird, so some queries might not be applicable.

I just attempted to send a photo to my wife at her office. The sending indicator went to 85% complete and no further. The error message popped up and said: error in sending mail server responded: out008.verizon.net Lost connection to [151.198.12.111] Try again.
I find no option in the configuration relating to the the sending of attachments. I have tried after disabling the antivirus stuff and it still dosesn't work.
I am working on a DSL line with Verizon.

That must mean the issue is with your DSL line and not the mail client. The mail client is timing out. The sheer fact that the mail client attmepts and successfully uploads 85% of the attachment is enough proof that its doing its work.
How big is the photo that you are attempting to send?

The photo is only 72dpi. Should be no problem.
Thanks for your help.

I have solved the attachment issue. It related to the router configuration. I have a new issue related to my email. It is older than the one just solved. When I send an email to my wife. (She has a different ISP. ) It is returned with the following error message.

YOu may clarify this with Verizon people. Write to Postmaster@verizon.net
about this. Their MTA is generating this message.

Author commented on 8/23/04 that he had solved the attachment issue ... sure would be nice to have the details of how! My brother-in-law is having a similar problem trying to sent larger emails using Outloook Express with his Verizon DSL service ... exact same error message about "lost connection"
Actually ... I found the solution here:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20256890/Outlook-Express-Prob-network-w-bonus.html?query=verizon+email+"lost+connection"&clearTAFilter=true
The "configuration" of the router is to change the MTU to 1492. Apparently a known problem with Linksys router and Verizon DSL.
