it's not your firewall - the options tab in outlook express has the heuristics set to delete ANY attachment - there is a tab with a tick, you need to untick it.

Well, It sound like you are going to have to disable your firewall software to receive your emails. This might sound silly, because it is. Thats the way the things work.

you can try to go to your Fire wall window in control panel and go to your exceptions which is location on the top of the window. it is a little tap labled exceptions. hit the bottom icon that says add program and make sure your email program is in the exceptions list. then go to the advanced and then find you internet conection in the box and then go to settings which is the tab next to it. then look for attachments. i hope this helps.

Zip the file(s) you would like to attach with the email and then transfer .This would transfer the mail with attachment even there is fire wall.
