Is 15mb and 1.7mb really too large

| 1 | ...separately that is. Both attachments in very brief emails not being sent through orcon email and returned as too large an email. Edited by olack at 12:49 pm, Thu 11 Feb olack - 2021-02-11 12:46:00 |
| 2 | Often there is a 15 mb limit so you would have to send two emails, or just use wetransfer.com tygertung - 2021-02-11 13:03:00 |
| 3 | Depends on your email provider. Gmail allows 25mb. lythande1 - 2021-02-11 13:15:00 |
| 4 | You can use services like wetransfer or sendgb if your have a picky provider - both free services. Although 15Mb seems pretty small to cause a fuss.. Edited by acura at 5:13 pm, Thu 11 Feb acura - 2021-02-11 17:12:00 |
| 5 | May also be the receivers Postmaster blocking them. More indicative of this is because the 1.7mb is being blocked. keytag - 2021-02-11 17:34:00 |
| 6 | Seems an anachronism when we can get 4,000Mbps connections in both directions. Edited by gyrogearloose at 5:36 pm, Thu 11 Feb gyrogearloose - 2021-02-11 17:35:00 |
| 7 | 1.7 MB is NOT too large at all. No where near it. nice_lady - 2021-02-11 18:22:00 |

And yet, the OP's attachment is too large for email because of some arbitrary restriction, be it 5, 15 or 25MB. I'm uncertain why this limit hasn't increased at all in the last 10 or 15 years. gyrogearloose - 2021-02-11 22:20:00 |

| 12 | I use GMX and has 50MB limit, also 2gig cloud storage so can upload file there and send link so recipient can download it. Also have unlimited mail storage. peanuts37 - 2021-02-12 01:27:00 |
| 13 | yes mail systems are not design for file transfer. Even though most mail systems can handle bigger files nowadays they are normally frowned upon, as they just take up big pieces of mailbox database space, and the more mailboxes you host, the more time it will take doing maintenance tasks on the databases, the worse the experience will be for all users. Big individual messages impact mail queues also. bitsnpieces2020 - 2021-02-12 07:24:00 |

Email was never designed to be a file storage mechanism. If a company hosts their mail server on prem, then someone sending a 50mb attachment to 100 staff adds up over time and requires larger spend on storage etc Theres plenty of other ways to send files which are better suited to purpose. csador - 2021-02-15 09:17:00 |
