Hello.

This is my first post here and, as my native language is Spanish, I apologize for some oddities in my writing.

I have been a Bluehost user for about 5 months now and my sites are up and running fine (knock on wood).

Recently I have had some issues with the e-mail account I created to myself.

Every time I try to send an e-mail with a file attached to it Outlook Express says that the SMTP server do not respond in 60 seconds and ask me if I want to wait or cancel. It doesn't matter how many times I choose to wait, the message never get sent.

One of the error messages that appear after reads "SMTP incoming data timeout. - closign connection". And I really don't know what it can be...

Is there any option I have to use to be able to send messages with attached files?

What is the limit to attached files on e-mails?

I have limited my account to 250Mb, but I understand that this is just for stored e-mails at the server, that I don't do by the way, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Peter Holmquist.
