I had the same problem last week, ive sent loads before never had a problem.

Last week I sent a message to another member with an attachment, however the message was received but no attachment. When I looked at my sent message there was no attachment either, I know it was there when I sent the message

I have not sent any since last week, so I thought it was just a glitch at the time, but if you are having the same problem it must be ongoing.

Edit

Just sent one to myself, yes the dreaded 404 error message

I probably have not sent any for a month or so, but sent one last night.

When I click on the get attachments...I then get a little box with a triangle with a (!) and the number 404.....then if I click on ok I get.... Not found

I liked this system as it saved messing about with email address's....

I do not want to give my email address out to all and sundry...so preferred this way.

I only go into my emails to delete the all the notifications from GR and all the other rubbish sent to me.

I am using IE10 but if I put this to GR they would probably say use Chrome...which I am not going to do
