Hi all,

I am using outlook express.  For the second time I am having trouble receiving email attachments from people who said they sent them and they tried a number of times.  I never receive any message saying that an attachment was sent, but it was being blocked.  The sender does not get a message saying their email was undeliverable.  Someone told me to maybe go and change the settings.  I went into tools and then options in outlook express.  On the security tab it it set on less secure but more functional setting.  I trided to do research on the internet and I found information that said to uncheck the box that says do not allow to save or open unsafe attachments.  I am afraid to do that because I am just not sure if it is ok to do that and depend on microsoft security essentials to catch any virus coming in or what.  I also read where maybe something had to be changed in the antivirus program which is security essentials.  If anyone could help me to know what to do I would appreciate it so I could recieve email from my course instructor, friends, etc that are safe.  I didn't know if the attachments are too large acording to verizon or what it could be.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  thanks very much.

Lisa
