Hi all,

since some days I am trying to send an e-mail with attachments from my new Treo Pro.

When I send an e-mail without attachments everything works fine. If I attach any kind of file (no matter what file or what size) it takes some time after pressing "Send" before I get an error message telling me either the network connection was down or the account details were wrong.

This occurs with all POP3 and IMAP accounts. No difference if GSM / 3G or WiFi.

There is definitely no way to send an e-mail with an attached file as of now.

Is there anything I can do about this problem? It is pretty annoying since I need to send out attachments quite often :mad:

Thanks!

Regards,


Bama

I can send attachments fine. Not sure what could cause that problem.
What email provider are you trying?

Hi,

I was trying various German e-mail providers such as T-Online, GMX, Daybyday. Neither one of them would work...

JwY,

Believe it or not by now I found the culprit for this issue.

When testing some other thing I found that Hotmail would work to send mails with attachment. So it had to be related to the settings of the mail application.

Finally, I disabled the checkbox to save attachments on the storage card. Suddenly I was able to send e-mails with attachments. So I deleted the Inbox folder on the storage card and enabled the checkbox for saving attachments on the storage card again. Everything works now. :D

Apparently the Inbox folder on the storage card was corrupted...
