AD,

I agree with the previous poster, and I also wonder whether the email with the 2 attachments is still in the Outbox and if Outlook is attempting to send it each and every time you click Send/Receive. If so, you may want to try moving that message from your Outbox to some other folder (Drafts?) then try again to Send/Receive. If it works OK then, then maybe you're running up against a max-size-for-sending issue. Or, if you're using a dial-up connection, it just may be taking that long to send. If a max-size-for-sending issue, then that can probably be resolved in Outlook's settings (I use Outlook Express, so I'm not sure where Outlook does it, but there is an option to break apart messages larger than X (you choose) Kb in size. For OE, it is in Tools>Accounts>Properties>Advanced) The email program then breaks apart the message into mailable chunks, then the recipient's email client "reasssembles" it on the receiving end. Check Outlook's Help file for details.

Good luck.
