Messaging: unable to send attachment

Solved

Hello,

Whatever email software is used (Outlook, Firefox, Thunderbird), I can't send emails with attachments (photos in particular)... while I can receive them.
Is it a configuration problem with my email account?
I should mention that I have tried with attachments of different sizes and that apparently my email is limited to 15 megabytes for sending emails.

Thank you to anyone who can enlighten me...

    Hi! I see that this problem is multiplying! Because I have it too, and what’s weird is that the other admins have the same problem and are on the same modem as me (there are 3 of us on the same modem)... The only thing that worries me is that Outlook Express, MailWatcher Pro, or Messenger can't find my POP3... Who knows what POP3 is? It might be the solution to the problem??

      POP is the messaging server you chat with :p
      SMTP and POP are the names of the communication protocols for mail servers; basically, SMTP is for sending and POP is for receiving. So check the addresses of the mail servers you are using: address, port, username, and password.

        The issue is indeed with the POP3 server of your email account.
