Try this:

- Click Tools | E-mail Accounts
- Select "View or change existing e-mail accounts" and click Next
- Select the e-mail account you want to change and click Change
- Click the More Settings button, then the Advanced tab
- Move the slider under "Server Timeouts" farther to the right, then click
OK, then Finish

See if increasing the server timeout limit helps those larger attachments
get through.
