Attachment Size Inaccurate in Mail

Hi,
I have a 7.6MB .sit file I'm trying to send via the mail app. But as soon as I attach it to the email, it says the size of the total email is 10.2MB, and won't let me send it due to the 10MB limit on file size. Even if the text of the email is empty. Any idea why the mail app adds nearly 3MB in size to a file attachment??
Thanks!
Jim

All attachments must be encoded into ASCII characters so that the information can be transported safely across the internet.
The encoding process can greatly increase the size of the message. Sometimes it can be double the size of the message or more.

  • Filter by Attachment size?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to filter by attachment size in apple mail?
    My gmail is full and I'm looking for the emails with bigger attachments. I'm using Gmail with IMAP. Also, does deleting from the trash also delete it in my Gmail account?
    Thanks

    you can filter by message size which effectively does the same thing.
    just add a message size column to your message view if you don't have it. that's done in view menu->columns.

    yes. but remember that gmail also stores everything in the All Mail folder so you'd need to delete it from there too if you want it completely gone from the gmail server.

  • Photo attachment size in Mail

    Hi
    When I attach photos into a mail, they appear as actual size.
    I would like all my attachment photos to appear as icons.
    I can then change the size of the photos into an icon but have to change each one individually.
    Is there a way to do a defult setting so that when I attach photos, they automatically go in as icons?
    Cheers
    Woodsie

    Folks
    This is not an issue, it's a feature. By this I mean it's intended behaviour. Apple have not "fixed it" because as far as they are concerned it's not broken. If you would like the behaviour changed then
    1. Install Mail-Attachments-Iconizer. I see one poster mentions he had issues with it but I've used for years with none.
    2. Always send your messages as Plain text: (Mail -> Preferences -> Composing). This will help with the pic arriving embedded. Though remember, the settings on the recipient's email client is the biggest factor in deciding how the email will display on their machine. Also, remember there's no reason why any other client "should" behave exactly like Eudora.
    3. If you want Mail to be changed there is no point in posting here. This is a User to User forum, and Apple do not promise to read it. So, if you want more options, a new default setting or even new preferences: Contact the developers of Mail:
    Mail menu -> Provide Mail Feedback
    The more folk that do, the better the chance of things being changed.

  • Maximum attachment size for Mail 4.3 and can it be changed?

    Hi,
    We are using Exchange 2010 at work and have found via several Mac users, and which I have verified myself, that Mac Mail appears to impose its own maximum attachment size limits, somewhere around 10MB. If I take the exact same message and send it via my PC running Outlook 2007 the message sends correctly.
    We have 4 users who reported the same thing so it isn't isolated to one machine. I have confirmed and re-confirmed that our Hub and Edge transports are configured to allow 100MB e-mails. Mac Mail has other ideas.
    Is there a way to change this limitation as I can't seem to find anything, via Google and/or searching these groups?
    I don't want to go back to Thunderbird or, worse yet, Entourage......

    It appears in this case to be a failure on Apples part to develop an application that support MAPI. Hopefully the forthcoming release of Office 2011 will rectify this situation.
    As I said I have gone through our setup of 6 exchange servers, covering all the bases.
    For instance,
    get-mailbox <user> | fl MaxSize
    MaxSendSize : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
    MaxReceiveSize : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
    Get-TransportConfig | fl MaxSize
    MaxReceiveSize : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
    MaxSendSize : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
    All receive connectors are configured to 100MB also on our Hub Transports.
    Even the fix listed in the links above, related to EWS and changing the IIS settings, which is where the issue seems to be, doesn't seem to work for me. It may be that I have missed something of course so I'll look over those links once more.
    Maybe restarting IIS after the changes were made wasn't enough.....
    Of course the other fix, since it works perfectly well with Windows machines and Outlook is to do away with our Macs entirely. Boy that would make me happy!!

  • Does Hotmail have an attachment size limit? When i attach something with more than 3mb in the mail it isn't send. It gives a resize option.

    Does Hotmail have an attachment size limit? When i attach something with more than 3mb in the mail it isn't send. It gives a resize option.

    Hi. Txs. The problem is that in my pc the limit size is 25mb. But in my ipad the mail only sends files under 3mb.

  • Attachment size - Mail cannot send email attachments over 1.5Mb

    Had this issue with Mac mail for well over a year now.
    Mac Mail, connected to Exchange server.
    Mac Mail cannot send attachments over about 1.5Mb. This does fluctuate, sometimes its as low as 600Kb.
    It seems to be related to the internet speed you have, Slower internet connections and attachment size you are able to send goes down, faster speed and it allows bigger attachments to be sent.
    Im assuming its some kind of time out issue.
    With Windows and Outlook on the same internet connection = NO PROBLEM AT ALL!
    This means its not an exchange only problem, its specific to mail and exchange.
    I have several friends all switched over to Apple in the last 2 years and ALL having the same issues and despite logging several calls with Apple and trying everything they have suggested still no fix.
    I have searched around and it seems lots of people are having similar issues all with no resolution to this.
    Please can someone suggest anything new that might resolve this, im happy to try anything!

    @Brooksymj
    We had a similar problem - but we had one Mac which had been migrated from and old G5 Tiger to a new Intel iMac Snow Leopard and no problems existed (all size attachments send), so we checked out what was different about that machine's mail.plist preferences.  We spotted some obvious ones that didn't exist on a clean install of Snow Leopard, so added them, which worked for us, as follows...
    1/ get Pref Setter (www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html)
    2/ quit Mail and launch Pref Setter
    3/ find com.apple.mail and double-click it
    4/ click once on any one of the entries without an expansion triangle
    5/ click on Actions and select Add New Array
    6/ call the new array DeliveryAccounts (no space)
    7/ with DeliveryAccounts highlighted, click Actions and select Add New Dictionary
    8/ leave the default name of Item 1
    9/ with Item 1 highlighted, click Actions and select Add New Key
    10/ call the new key MaxMessageBytes (no spaces)
    11/ change MaxMessageBytes class to Integer
    12/ set the value to the maximum individual message size permited by your exchange server
    (ours is 50MB = 52428800)
    This also worked on my mbp with Lion.
    Hope this works for you!

  • Sending mail with attachment fails on MAC Mail and WRP400.

    Sending mail with attachment fails on MAC Mail and WRP400.
    We have hundreds of WRP400 connected with Mac (Machintosh) computers. No special configurations are applied (no virtual server or DMZ). Web navigation, P2P programs and sending mail without attachment work right.
    The problem is the impossibility to send mails with medium or big size files attachment from MAC Mail.
    If we use Windows PCs or a different linksys routers (eg. WRT54G) the problem not happens.
    We have upgraded WRP400 firmware version from 1.00.06 to 2.00.05 but the result is the same. Sending mail with attachment using Mac fails.
    We tried to configure WRP400 with DMZ to a particular MAC. We tried to configure Virtual server on tcp 25 port of a MAC. The result is always the same.
    This is a WRP400 bug? Windows PCs work right. MAC and MAC mail works right with other linksys router.
    We need help. Thanks.

    The problem was fixed since beta firmware 2.00.11.
    I think that this issue was caused from a bug that decrease upload bitrate of WRP400 after some days of activity.
    See more details on Cisco forum under title "WRP400 stops responding after browsing certain websites".
    Thanks.

  • No longer able to attach .jpg images in Mail...

    I'm having problems attaching .jpg images in Mail. This problem started two or three days ago. I can attach .zip files, but I'm unable to attach .pdf or .jpg files. I have not tried other formats, as these are the two most common formats used.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Cheers. -m

    There was a discussion posted on this a while back:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1545970&start=0&tstart=0
    I get this problem on my PPC, but not my Intel machine. Instead of using Server Admin, best to set this value (maxAttachmentSize) in the /etc/wikid/wikid.conf file. The value in Server Admin will still show '0', but I was still able to attach files up to the size I specified in the wikid.conf file.

    Hi Pat
    Microsoft upgraded Hotmail e-mail accounts to Outlook.com
    The Print Screen key has no function.....when the 2 boxes mentioned above appear on the monitor (which I have detailed) they require action or I cannot proceed to another screen or function.
    Maybe my problem should also be sent to Microsoft Customer Service...your thoughts.
    I note there has been 106 views hard to believe that no one else has had this problem.

  • How do I compress a pdf with Create PDF so that I can attach it to e-mail?

    How do I compress a pdf with Create PDR so that I can attach it to e-mail?

    Hi, Blue Mamba.
    Your file is automatically compressed when using the CreatePDF service to convert from some other file type (e.g. Word, Excel) to PDF. For example, most PowerPoint files get compressed 50% to 90% over their original size.
    If there is a particular file you're converting to PDF using the CreatePDF service, and you are not seeing the size savings that you would like, please provide more details.
    Thanks.

  • Snow Leopard, iPhoto, Mail - loss of image size option when mailing photos

    I just installed Snow Leopard on both my laptop and my desktop. Now I have lost one of the size options when I email images directly from iPhoto. This is a big problem for me, as I have the need to send photos out to colleagues for their review several times per week. Before the new OS, I could choose (from within iPhoto or from within Mail) from these options: small, medium, large, and full-size. "Large" was the choice that almost always worked best for me. Now an image is medium-sized no matter whether you choose medium or large. Small and full-size still work.
    If I add images to a mail using the photo browser in Mail (which is less convenient for me anyway), then I lose the titles and descriptions I have added to those images in iPhoto. Not good.
    Is there a setting I can change, or is this a bug, or what?
    Help.
    Marion

    Ernie,
    It's not the the image size buttons are not available. They are. It's that they don't work correctly. From within iPhoto: choosing "small" gives me a small image; choosing "medium" gives me a medium image; choosing "large" also gives me a medium image; choosing "full" gives me a full-size image. So, there are four buttons, but only three sizes. I need large, and it's the one that's not working.
    I am currently experimenting with your export-attach suggestion, and the results are very messy indeed as well as inconsistent. If I export an image as .jpeg and as full-size, and then attach them to a mail, the first problem is that I lose all the titles and descriptions, even though I have chosen to export them. In the past, all the images lined up neatly in the body of the message with titles underneath each one; now the images are all "stuck together" and you must mouse over to get the title info. Thus you can see this info for only one image at a time - inconvenient for my colleagues.
    The second problem is that, the size option buttons work for some images and not for others. I tried attaching three files of different sizes: 2.7MB, 5.2MB, and 6.2MB. All four size buttons work for the two larger files, but, once again "medium" and "large" choices both result in the same size image, "medium."
    Even if the export-attach option worked correctly, it would involve many more steps and much more time than my former method of sending direct from iPhoto.
    I have not upgraded to iLife9. Perhaps the problem has been corrected in it. I was holding out for iLife10, but might go ahead with 9 if I could be assured it would work. This is really a huge problem for me.
    Thanks,
    Marion

  • Email Attachment Size Etiquette

    I'm looking for opinions on what is the biggest "polite" email attachment size.
    By this I mean.. how big of a file can you send without calling them to make sure they aren't out of the country for a week because your huge attachment will fill their mailbox and reject all incoming mail for the next three days and it's your fault... Oh and it's your most important client... (I swear this hasn't happened.)
    I'm thinking it is still around 5MB. What are your thoughts.

    Internally in an enterprise, 5MB
    Externally, 1MB, and usually zipped.
    I'd be annoyed if someone was sending me 5MB mails to my iphone over EDGE!

  • Max. # of mail receipients?  Max size of  e-mail?

    I tried to send a newsletter to about 150 people. The size of e-mail, including a 0.8 mb pdf attachment was 1.3 mb.
    The server kept on balking and wouldn't send it.
    Since trying that I've been unable to send anything out.
    Did I do something wrong or is the .mac server down? It's 10:00 pm Mountain time Sat. night
    Thanks,
    John VL

    I don't know what the specific limits are for .mac, but many mail providers impose limits on size and number of emails, in an attempt to control spam. You should be able to find details of the limits on the website, or in the .mac discussions, as well as details of the "penance" time before you can resume sending.
    Next time, try breaking your newslettre list into groups of about 50, and send one group a day.

  • Email attachment size limitation

    My boss has an I-Phone 4.  What is the size limitation of email attachments he can send or receive? Spoke to AT&T who said it is an Apple issue.

    Hi Shaju,
    I would suggest the following solution path:
    Execute the report (or whatever) and catch the output in an internal table. When using abap list output with the SUBMIT statement there's also an option to EXPORT LIST TO MEMORY and such. (I never used it but I've seen it working).
    Then send this output as an attachment (and not as mail text). Attachment are passed "as-is", as long there's not format conversion active for this output. If you name the attachment list.ALF and in SAPConnect you have ALF-->TXT then your attachment's going to be converted. But this should still keep your line-size of > 255.
    Best wishes,
       Florin
