Message/attachment size limits?

[CWLee]

(Running Vista Ultimate 64-bit, SP-2, IE-7, classic mode,
dial-up.)

Background: I have no problems sending one or two .jpg
files as attachments to emails. I am unable to send many
more than that. I just tried to send 9, and for a while it
indicates it is sending, and then it stops and starts over,
with the same result (no error message). I removed one, and
tried to send 8; same story. I removed another, trying to
send 7, with the same result; when I got to 6, it worked
fine.

So, is there a setting I can adjust to enable me to send
more files as attachments? Is there a way to estimate the
size/amount of files I can send as an attachment?

Any enlightenment appreciated.

Hi,

The size is heavily dependent on the mail servers involved. Even if you are
able to send a large batch, the intended recipient may not be able to
recieve it. I generally recommend that you stay under 10MB in size to avoid
problems. You might try resizing images before sending for casual email.

Hi,

To add: There are many sites available where you can upload your files for
sharing. Then all you need do is send a link to your recipients. It avoids
the file size limits and doesn't clog anyone's inbox. Here is just one of
many examples: http://www.4shared.com/

Every ISP I've been a customer of, which is only 2 however, had a limit
of 30MB total & unlimite dnumbe rof attachments although initially it
was 10 attachments. As of the size of mail stored on their server,
w/othout downloading & deleting from your Internet provider's server, it
was either unlimited or enormous size like 2GB.

So either your ISP sucks or some settings/setup is wrong.
I don't believe just 10 photos would overload

I think DIALUP is the root cause of your problem.

You should go back to dial up.
