Outlook 2007 on WIndows 7 unable to send attachments and emails over a few kb in size

outlook-2007windows 7

using pop email, any email larger than a few kb in size and/or with an attachment will not send. The Outlook error message lists 'server timeout' or 'unable to connect to outgoing server' as the issue. No one else is having this issue, all server settings are correct, I have removed and recreated the profile, updated Windows, experimented with different settings.

This is a new laptop. The PST came from an XP machine running Office 2007.

Google has nothing for me. I am hoping that you guys do.

Please ask questions if I need to be more specific. I am not sure what else to include.

laptop is a Dell Latitude E6510 running Windows 7 Enterprise. Office 2007. McAfee 8.7i (which I have disabled).
