Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject 'test', Account: 'pop3.ukonline.co.uk', Server: '127.0.0.1', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
The above shows OE error message after mail with attachment (.jpg) fails to send.Ill do as you suggested and search for a similar thread.
