    Email sending takes forever
    When I send an e mail with out ex 6 with a photo it takes 20 minutes to send. Sending text e mails are fine. Is this normal?

    No, it shouldn't take long - it takes a couple of minutes to upload the photos for sending, but once they are ready to send, they won't take much longer than a regular email.

    I have no idea why it's not working properly.

    Really depends on the size of the attachment, photos can be VERY large, and your connections upload rate, normally around 2-300k for DSL

    Jay, what speed is your connection as this maybe the root of your problems ?

    So you are on a dial up connection and you are wondering why it takes along time to send e-mail attachments.

    Due to your low upload speed this is to be expected.
    There is very little that you can do to improve this situation, barring upgrading to DSL/Cable.
    A text only mail is a few K in size, but once you start adding atachments the size gets bigger quickly.
    A digital photo can be anything up to a few MEG in size. Now trying to send a large file on dial up WILL take a long time.
    The only thing you could do would be to reduce the size of your attachments, but even this isn't really a solution.

    I hope this makes things clearer.
