Limit on Attachment Size in Mail

I want to receive mails with a text file attachment (.csv file). I receive it OK and can view the attachment in the mail if the attachment is just a few lines, but i don't receive the mail at all if the attachment is a little larger. Is there a limit on the file size of attchments ?
Also, is it possible to save an attchment from an email so that it can be used by another App ?
(I have a spreadsheet app and would like to be able to pick up a .csv file sent to me via email).
thanks, Keith

Most email services have limits on the size of attachments, they can vary. But from your description, your file doesn't sound like its that big, it should transmit.
For attachments, press and hold the attachment icon, a menu should pop up that includes "open in" where you can open it in any app that is compatible with that file format. I'm not sure a csv file would connect with a spreadsheet app like Numbers, though.

Missing attachment size in mail 4.3

Hi, when I attach a jpeg to an email, I can see the size of the attachment at the bottom of the window but when I attach a pdf, the 'message size' and 'image size' are both missing. Please does anybody know if this is standard or do I have a problem?

Stuart,
The problem in the earlier version of Mail was that if the Image Size button were used with PDF, to anything other than Actual Size, the PDF was converted to a JPEG and havoc resulted. It was very purposefully removed in later versions of Mail unless true image files that could be downsized as JPEG files were what were attached. I know this because I was one who pointed out the error that could result. The resizing was prevented in the final Version of Mail 2.x, but the Message size Report and Image Size button were not removed when attaching PDF until Mail 3.x and later.
The current behavior is not a bug, and the Message Size was only meant to appear when Image Size button could be used to reduce the size of the files, and thus the entire message.

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!!

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.

Reduce Attachment size in Mail on iPad (4.2)

Greetings:
I have spent a ton of time trying to find out how to do this but only seem to see where people talk about the ability to "select size of photo attachments" yet I cannot figure out how to actually do this.
This is a big deal for me as I mail images all the time and want to set my iPad up so it reduces the size of the image if possible
Thanks
Doug

Thanks for the information. I looked for the User Guide on the iPad page in the online store and the link was still to the old PDF file--my first clue was the "orientation" toggle was listed and not the silent switch. After your reply I went back in to search under manuals and found it. I downloaded it to the iBook for easy reference.
By the way, I also noted that some photos I saved from the web directly on my iPad were not able to be resized when I attempted to email them. I don't pretend to understand that <g>

Individual attachment size in mail app

I was able to see the size of individual attachments in the old version of mail.
I now only see the total size and the number of attachments.
Does anyone know how to display the size of individual attachments in the new lion mail app?

CT,
Our company works with photos and some of them are send by email so yes, incoming mail.
I would like to see the size (kb) of the individual attachments.
I only see the total now while in the old version i could see the size of all of them seperate.
Hope this helps.
I am not sure still - do you mean see the individual sizes within a received message? I can see that info when I am viewing by icon

Total Attachment Size Restrict - Exchange 2010

Hi Guys,
Am trying to create a Transport rule to restrict attachment size for a particular group members. (restriction to 1MB total attachment size)
The problem is that when a member of user tries to send email with four attachment(300KB x 4nos.) which exceeds 1MB he/she is still able to send emails.
When a users send single attachment of 1MB above, he/she gets the NDR which is what am expecting.
Reference:- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124345%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
Attachment size limits These limits apply to the maximum allowed size of a
single attachment within a message. The message may contain many attachments that greatly increase the overall size of the message. However, an attachment size limit applies to the size of an individual attachment only.
How to restrict total/sum size of all attachment which exceeds 1MB?
- Charles

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, we can't limit total attachment size for a message directly. But As Ed said, we can use message size limit to limit the total size of a message as a workaround.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

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 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.

"the attachment size exceeds the allowable limit" when trying to move email

I am just trying to archive deleted items yet when I even highlight a small range and try to move them to the archive I get the attached error. I've done and advanced find in the deleted items folder for attachments larger than 1MB and already moved them to
the archive yet I can't seem to get the rest of the emails to move.
NOT trying to send mail, just move into and archive and our attachment size has already been increased to 30Mb since inception of Exchange years ago.

Hi pstoric,
This error usually occurs when you try to attach an attachment file more than a server allow. And another important point is that, the solution to fix attachment issue are different for the types of accounts (Exchange, POP3, IMAP, HTTP).
If you are working with an exchange server mailbox, then you can put a request to server administrator to increase the
“Maximum send size” limit from the “Transport Settings Properties” option.
Process of Increasing attachment file size limitation in POP3/IMAP/HTTP account is more differ and little bit handy task. You have to make some changes in the registry to complete this task by following a set of instructions.

Outlook 2010 attachment size limit

We're using a sendmail server for our email and have been using Outlook 2003 for the client. I'm evaluating Outlook 2010 but we've hit a snag. Total attachments over ~20MB result in a "The attachment size exceeds the allowable limit".
This works fine under 2003.
How can I fix this?

Hi,
First, please let us know the email server you are using. Is it Exchange and what’s the version? Also, does this issue occur on all the client computers or only
one some of the computers?
As this issue might be related to some settings on the Exchange server side, you may also contact your network administrator to check the settings on the server side.
If there are no attachment limitation settings on the server side, we can troubleshoot the issue by the steps below:
Step 1: Disable background transfer of attachments to the Exchange server.
=============
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you
follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
1. Run regedit on the outlook client computer that has the issue.
2. Locate the following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook]
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
Value name: DisableBGSave
Data type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Hexadecimal
Value data: 1
Note: You will see the Policies key if policies are deployed in your environment. If so, add the registry key under the following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook]
4. Restart Outlook and test the issue again. Is the issue resolved? If the problem persists, let’s continue.
Step 2: Start Outlook in online mode/safe mode.
=============
1. In Outlook, click File > Info > Account settings > Account settings.
2. Click your Exchange account, and click the
Change button, then More settings,
Advanced tab. Uncheck Use cached Exchange mode.
3. Exit Outlook . Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to
Microsoft Office.
4. Press and hold the
CTRL key, and then click Microsoft Outlook.
Is the problem resolved? If not, let’s continue.
Step 3: Create a new Outlook profile.
=============
1.    Exit Outlook.
2.
Go to Start > Control Panel, click or double-click
Mail.
Mail appears in different Control Panel locations depending upon the version of the Microsoft Windows operating system, Control Panel view selected, and whether a
32- or 64-bit operating system or version of Outlook is installed.
The easiest way to locate
Mail is to open Control Panel in Windows, and then in the
Search box at the top of window, type Mail. In
Control Panel for Windows XP, type Mail in the
Address box.
Note
The Mail icon appears after Outlook starts for the first time.
The title bar of the Mail Setup dialog box contains the name of the current profile. To select a different existing profile, click Show Profiles, select the profile
name, and then click Properties.
3.
Click Show Profiles. Choose Prompt for a profile to be used.
4.
Click Add.
5.
Type a name for the profile, and then click OK.
6.
Start Outlook, and choose this new profile.
If this problem does not occur in the new Outlook profile, the old Outlook is corrupted. We can delete that and use a new Outlook profile.
Step 4: If it still not resolved, create a new Outlook profile on another PC that does not have this issue, then check to see if it persists. This can help us to narrow
down that if the issue is specific to the machines.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything I can do for
you, please feel free to let me know.

How do I change the attachment size limit in Calendar Server 6.3, UWC, IWC?

How do I properly increase or decrease the attachment size limit with Calendar Server and all supported user interfaces to it such as WCAP, UWC (Communications Express) and IWC (Convergence)? From my experience with the Outlook Connector, there seems to be some limit imposed by cshttpd on the size of a file upload (I believe I actually got an HTTP error code back on the wcap request indicating something was too big, sorry I don't have it handy, I'll have to re-test). Additionally, it seems UWC imposes additional limits (Example: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4440/6n6jfgcjh?l=en&a=view&q=fileSizeHardLimit) but I can't seem to get those to work at all. I found many different web.xml related to UWC and I'm not sure which one to change, I tried a couple but had no success because UWC would always report this error if I uploaded between 4-5 megs: com.iplanet.jato.util.WrapperRuntimeException
Root cause = [java.io.IOException: Request cancelled because file input field
"importFile" size is over the configurable limit of 4194304 bytes; see filter init
parameter fileSizeHardLimit]
And it would complain about requestSizeLimit I think if it was over 5 megs, claiming that limit was 5242880. IWC gives a generic error when the upload is too big and rejects it.
I fear that a 4 meg limit will be too imposing and of limited value, so I would either like to raise it, or consider lowering it to 0 bytes so attachments cannot be used at all. I have been looking high and low for information on how to do this and all I can find is the UWC examples. I plan to support the Outlook Connector, UWC, and IWC so the limits should ideally be the same across each. Some of the Exchange data we wish to import does have some attachments so it would be good to continue support for that. I did see some other posts about quota RFEs but at this point I am not concerned about the disk consumption. Can anyone help? Thanks. Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide. I am running SCS6u1 on Solaris 10 SPARC.

Thanks!!! This is working with IWC and I am pretty sure it will work with Outlook. I didn't think to look at config options for mshttpd since I don't have it installed and ics.conf doesn't list the http.service.maxmessagesize and service.http.maxpostsize by default.http.service.maxmessagesize is only relevant to mshttpd, not cshttpd. service.http.maxpostsize applies to both.
UWC is still limiting me though; I'm sure I can reconfigure UWC if I just know which file to edit and if I need to redeploy anything. I'm using the same install paths as the SCS6 Single Host example and I'm not sure which the "uwc-deployed-path" is supposed to be. Again, thanks.If you have deployed UWC/CE to Application Server you would edit the following file and restart application-server:
/opt/SUNWappserver/domains/domain1/generated/xml/j2ee-modules/Communications_Express/web.xml
e.g.
<filter>
    <filter-name>MultipartFormServletFilter</filter-name>

Email attachment size limit?

I noticed today that when I attach a photo from my external hard drive to an email on my Macbook Pro, the attachment drops in size significantly. I want to attach a photo that is 800kb but it shows up in the email as being 142kb. Why is this? How can I keep the attachment at its original size?

Your ISP sets the limit. Speak to them and get the max attachment size.

Limit the maximum size of attachment in ME22N or ME52N

Dear All SAP Experts,
How do I limit the maximum size of attachment in ME22N or ME52N (System > Services for object > Create attachment)?
(for example, attachment size cannot be above 10 MB).
Some Experts told me that they don't think there is a standard solution for my requirement. They ask me to invoke my own checks in BADI GOS_SRV_REQUEST.
Unfortunately, I'm not an ABAPer person, really don't have any idea what is GOS_SRV_REQUEST. Can someone help me? Any suggestions will be appreciated, and any solutions will be rewarded by points.
Thank You

Kursteilnehmer

Hi,
Badi is similar to user exits. I hope you have an idea of user exits.
Badi has an enhanced features compare to user exists.
About this Badi "GOS_SRV_REQUEST". This is a Badi definition. You can check this definition in TCode SE18. It has methods an ABAP Programmer need to implement this badi.
Badi Implementation can be done from TCode SE19. Ask a ABAP developer to Implement this badi. So that whenever you did an attachment then this Badi should be triggered and the code in the method would be executed. This way you can restric the size of the attachment,
Reward if useful.
Thanks,
SAm
