I haven't had this particular problem, all my large emails 
have come down OK.  Sometimes UltiMail changes its 
settings, and it sounds like it's looking for an odd mail 
supplier or something.  Try these...

When you're logged on to your ISP, start UltiMail a few times, 
thereby trying to force it to your ISP.

Check \tcpip\umail\umail.err for errors, looking for clues to 
what it's done.

See the \tcpip\umail\umail.nnn and umail.pro, and umailsrv.nnn
and umailsrv.pro files?  The .pro are the current working 
configuration files, and the .001+ are the discarded copies. 
Figure out where Umail upgraded the .pro, and copy the old 
working .nnn into .pro.  NOTE: Copy aside your current .pro 
files first and be prepared to put them back, this is 
extremely icky going.




The posters who answered obliquely are bashing and putting
up commercial advertising.  I think they grep on UltiMail.
