Eugene, I wish there was more help I could give - well there may be but I am not sure I want to return to AVG to try to help.
Hotmail (free accounts) will not accept attachments larger than 10Mb ... I sent a larger attachment earlier to my Hotmail account and Hotmail has just thrown the message away (without any notification). However 10Mb is not what it seems. In the encoding of attachments necessary for using POP3/SMTP there is about a 23% overhead in size in the encoded attachment. So I just sent an ~8Mb attachment to one of my free Hotmail accounts. It was downloaded without any issue by the Hotmail add-on and it was scanned by by my anti-virus program (avast). There may be good reasons why the great and the good moderators of the Mozilla Thunderbird Mail forums switched their allegiance some time back from AVG to avast. I hope that the Webmail Author will forgive this ungenerous comment but ... given the freely available SMTP service of Hotmail I can see no valid technical reason for not using it when it provides an ability to send emails with a capability that matches the old WebDav functionality of the Hotmail add-on and surpasses the current reduced capability of the http limited add-on. About the only downside I can detect (and I recognize its importance to some) is that the sent messages do not appear in the sent folder on the Web interface of Hotmail.
