OEXP can't send mail > 4kb

Laptop running XP SP@, mail scanning disabled. Small messages are sent no 
problem. When a mail has more than 2 lines of text it hangs during the send 
and returns "no socket error 10053, error # 0x800CCC0F" Connection is via 
D-Link DI-524 wls router, MTU in router is 1492. XP firewall is off, router 
firewall off, McAfee firewall off. Ideas?

Turn off e-mail scanning. Your anti-virus will still protect you. All it 
does is eat up CPUs and cause these Time-outs.

Sorry. I missed that you have already turned off e-mail scanning. The router 
could be causing this. Any way to make a direct connection to test it?

Your Outbox could also be damaged.

Tools>Options>Maintenance>Store folder will reveal the location
of your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder 
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start>Run>Ctrl+V will put the location 
in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write the 
location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In WindowsXP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start>Control Panel>Folder
Options>View.

With OE closed, find the DBX file for the folder in
question {Outbox.dbx} and delete it.  A new one will be created
automatically when you open OE.

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually
become corrupted. Create your own user defined folders for storing
mail and move your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly.
Keep user created folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as
is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually
while working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are 
open. Then: File>Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status 
Bar).
File>Folder>Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting 
is completed.

The second article suggests that you may have to try a variety of MTU 
values for Windows to find one that works.
