Question

I am unable to send large e-mail attachments (7 mb)?

Answer 1

You can try www.inbox.com for sending attachments up to 20MB also you can upload it on http://rapidshare.de/ and send the link to recipient by email.



Hope this will solve your purpose.

Answer 2

7mb is a rather large file.. what are you trying to send? can you zip it all together and try and compress it some?



most free email providers (ie yahoo email, hotmail, etc) won't let you send an attachment quite that large.. if you have your own email, one given to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and use Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla's Thunderbird you should be able to send it.



With a file that large, it will take somet time to send it out of your email and some time for the receiver to get it.. also, their inbox might not have enough room to recieve an email so big.

Answer 3

That doesnt mean your mail server will! You probably have a cap on yours!

Answer 4

Use yousendit

It's easy - just upload your file and send a link to your recipient; then they can download it when they want.



Another good way is to use DropSend

Answer 5

msn's hotmail allows you to send 10MB in a email..try that?

Answer 6

Many mail servers have a limit on the size of emails they can send and recieve. Even if the address you are sending to can receive large emails, your email provider may not allow you to send them. Yahoo! Mail has a limit of 10 MB ecrypted, which gives you about 6.5 MB unencrypted. As your file is 7 MB, it won't fit in Yahoo! as it is. If these are the raw files, zipping them could save enough space to send using Yahoo! Mail.

Answer 7

try compressing them first, or start up your own web site, for down loading

Answer 8

Yahoo Mail lets you to send a file of up 10MB.

Answer 9

if you use yahoo to send a large attachment it wont work. yahoo can not send file no larger than 5 meg. even if the rechiever has large file attachment support.

Answer 10

Hi.



The size of e-mail attachments is retricted by your mail server and/or the recipients mail server. They do this because of the limits of the size of inboxes and the potential of a 'denial of service attack'.



Usually, you can safely send an e-mail of 1 to 3MB without it being truncated or dropped by most of the mail servers out there. I would keep your e-mail under 1MB to be safe. Somtimes you'll get a warning or notice from your mail server or the recipient's mail server IF the message is TOO LARGE. However, that's not certain.



If you need to transfer a large file, try posting it to a web site or FTP server. Then e-mail the HTTP link/URL or FTP address of the file to the intended recipient. Include instructions on how to download the file. MOST people prefer this method because you download overload their inbox OR slow down their e-mail reader. The larger the e-mails, the more time it takes the e-mail reader to list and display them.



I hope this helps.

Answer 11

Try Facebook. They have 100 Megabyte memory.

Answer 12

the promblem is that your computer will only take certain amounts of megabytes so if it does not let you send then you need a new computer with more megabytes

Answer 13

you need a new computer
