Thank you for your response. I tried your solution above to the "T". When i change the storage to external SD storage, there does not seem to be a delay while the files are moved. There is approx. 5 gig worth of large files stuck in the out box. Most of the files are 358MB files. I look at the external storage in the directory you suggest above. There are two ".db" files and two ".db_att" folders in the files folder. When i open the 1st "db_at" folder there is one file in it labeled 12 which is a 779 byte file. After i convert this file to a MP4, i try to view it and i get an error "Unable to play video" Sorry, this video cannot be plaid. The other folder is empty.
I am pretty sure that this file is not any of the attachments for they are all much larger. Now i have two out boxes in this account with no files trying to be sent. I have rebooted the phone (arrow up, home, power on) and still have 2 out boxes with both being empty. They seem to have disappeared. I believe K9 froze in the middle of transferring the files over. Screen turned black, it went to force stop, but i told it to wait. I thank you for you response above and if the program did not freeze, it probably would have worked just fine.
