Outlook 2003 is slow to send messages with attachments under 5MB

Hi,

I have Outlook 2003 running under Windows XP. Whenever I go to send a message with an attachment that is usually under 5MB, outlook takes quite a long time to send the message.

All of the Windows updates have been applied. The virus protection is Avast Home Edition and SpyBot S&D is also installed.

Any suggestions to speed up my Outlook 2003 will be greatly appreciated!

Thx.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. The mail is being sent to a POP server at my ISP who insists that 5MB should move quickly.Is there anything that I can do on my network or within Outlook to speed this up?

Thx.

Hi - we ran office diagnostics which reset the user's profile. Since then the problem has not re-occurred. Sorry for the delay...I wanted to have enough time to make sure the problem did not come back.

These suggestions were tried but did not work. A solution is no longer needed. Thanks.
