Does size really matter?

Question

I'm trying to send a 12,000 K attachment to both a hotmail and msn account, but I'm getting a message saying "This message is larger than the current system limit or the recipient's mailbox is full". I'm trying to look for the "current system limit" but cannot find it. Could someone please tell me whats the biggest a message can be to go through using msn and hotmail?? Thanks!

Answer 1

Current limit for attachments is 10Mb to 25 Mb... can't remember which mailbox limit this is :-)



What you are sending is roughly 12 Mb. Try using a zip utility like Winzip, WinRar or Izarc to reduce the size of your attachment.

Answer 2

hah, i thought you were asking about penis size when i saw title. I can tell you though that the biggest a message can get is in fact bigger than 12,000 K. The recipients mailbox is probably full

Answer 3

attachments are usually limited to 10 MB in size.
