Mac mail app won't send attachments with emails

Hi brains trust,

I've been having issues sending emails with attachments from the Mac Mail app on my Macbook Pro (macOS Ventura 13.3.1).

I've tried both insert options available through the app - file/attach files and the paperclip icon, but to no avail. The text in the email will send, but any file that is 'attached' does not send. When I check the mail in the send folder the attachments are there and showing, but any/all recipients do not receive the files (images, PDFs etc).

The only work around I've found is sending attachments through the web browser, which works fine but is not a long term solution for me.

Any help/suggestions/fixes greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Kate

There's a button in the tool bar called 'Include Attachments'. If this button is accidentally switched off then the email won't send an email with attachments. So I just went to 'View' and 'Edit Toolbar' and got rid of this very useless button. Now I have no more problems with certain emails not sending with attachments.
