Suddenly TB has stopped sending email messages on all accounts. SMTP settings are current and correct.

I have researched the issue and it seems to be the following:

TB is limited to 10000 temp files, and stops sending emails if nsmail-9999.tmp exists, and fails to open attachment by application if <attchment_filename>-9999.attachment_extention exists.'

I am a Windows 7 Pro user and I have been unsuccessful in locating and/or deleting these temporary files. Based upon volume of use, I believe this is likely the issue as it matches up with all the research.

If anyone can offer any recommendation on how to proceed, it would be greatly appreciated.

You can access the Temp folder by typing %TEMP% in the Run utility and press Enter.
