Default Sending e-mails with attachments impossible?!?

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

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.

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

Regards,

Bama
