Mail attachment was too big now that account is frozen

I have two Accounts set up in Mail.app.  One business, one personal via AOL.  Comcast is my ISP.  Attachments are limited to around 10-20 MB.
I tried to send an attached 5 MB Folder that I thought contained five 1 MB video clips.  When that didn't work, I split the contents into 5 separate e-mails.  When that didn't work, I noticed that these were all the actual sizes were GB not MB so I knew they were way too big to go as attachments.  However, Mail kept trying to send them.  Now, the personal account just spins but occasionally, new, outgoing mail will work.
Based on suggestions in this Forum, here is what I have done for troubleshooting so far:
Deleted the messages from the Outbox
Deleted the messages from the Drafts mailbox
In Mail Preferences, I deselected "Store Drafts on the Server."  (My guess was not only was Mail trying to send the messages, it was also trying to store a draft of each message.)
I forced quit Mail and went to ~/Library/Mail and deleted any copies of either the Message or the Attachment that I could find including those in the Outbox, Saved, and Recovered mailboxes/folders.  (I sorted the various folders by size making it fairly easy to find these large attachments and found the individual messages by the created date.)
I can retrieve my AOL Mail by going to their website but I still cannot get my AOL Account to work in Mail.app.
What do I do next?  Should I just delete the Account and recreate it?  Can I do this without losing old saved messages?  Note, everything is backed up by Time Machine.

Hi,
When you select, New message ... is the window as big as your screen??
If this is the case, try to drag the window smaller and try again to attach any file you like in the message.
Is the drop down window smaller now?? if this is the case then drag the drop down wind to the size you like. On your right hand at the bottom you can drag it to the size you want.
Post back with the results ...

  • Interface was too big, solved that. Now the tools don't fit in the box.

    Hey all!
    Like some others, I had a problem with the size of the interface. I fixed this by lowering my windows size to 124%. When I started illustrator I was very happy to see that (almost) everything had returned to it's original size.
    Now, however, the tools don't seem to have scaled wit the rest of the interface and they don't seem to fit in their box, the same goes for all the other screens. I added a photo to show you what I mean. This happens with every single screen in Illustrator (new file, swatches, type, etc). When using tools, they also show up way too big on my screen (the black cursor, for example, is huge)
    How do I solve this?

    I also got the new small Ipod Shuffle for my birthday. There is one set of compatable earphones available and they cost more than the Ipod shuffle, and still may not fit. An over the ear model is not available. An adapter was suppose to come out in mid-July but it is still not available. I would also like to use the Ipod Shuffle in my car and again, this is not possible. I'm very disappointed and hurt. My daughter was laid off and used what money she had to get me what she thought was a nice a present. She is profoundly deaf and doesn't understand music or Ipod's other than they are popular and she wanted to do something nice for her Mom. Very dissappointed an adapter is still not available.

    Hi,
    When you have the browser open (Internet Explorer) then press the Alt key on the keyboard. It should show you the file options at the top..Then uncheck work offline and check..
    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

    I need some advice about the macbook pro and iPhone 5.
    I took a video on my iPhone and tried to email it it said it was too big to send? So i downloaded it to my macbook pro and tried to mail it to no avail? The macbook tells me the server won't let it through other mail goes through any ideas how to resize it or what it might take to send it?

    I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
    You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
    Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.

  • HT2500 I had sent an email that was too big to go. It keeps popping into my "Recovered Messages folder I empty my "Recovered Messages"& it comes Back & its blocking all my incoming emails

    First, you need to show folders and files which are normally invisible. To do this, open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
    Hit return, then copy/paste
    killall Finder
    and hit return again.
    Next hit Cmd-Shift-G and enter ~/Library/Mail and hit return
    Open the triangle next to Mail and  look for a file named
    .OfflineCache file
    and move it to the Trash. If this file exists, doing this will probably fix the problem.
    You will need to reverse the show hidden command by just adding false to it, instead of true and them killall Finder again.

  • Iphone 4s update stopped, then the backup was too big!

    I was installing the latest update on my fiances iphone 4s. Then it stopped and I got some text saying the update wouldn't go. The phone was then locked with and I was prompted to connect it to itunes. Also hade a message about the simcard not being correct, that disappeared though. Then I had to do a backup and reset the phone. "Ok", fine I'll use the backup I just made - but no! Now the back up was too big! Bit above 14 Gb which I after som googling understand is more than "the basic" package? Anyway, I didn't have any recent backups so now I got the evil eye from my fiance as I write… is this solveable? What happened? Did the update get mixed into the backup thus making it a bigger file? The phone was almost full when I started the update…  I do have a backup from september which is abot 12 Gb. Can I use this somehow?

    Well, the update was aborted. Can't remember the exact error message and I can't produce it again obviously. But what happened next was that I was prompted to connect it to itunes and restore it, there was this symbol on the screen with a wire going to itunes.
    Now it's just telling me there isn't enough space to backup from the one I want. I know what folder it is in, the application, mobile sync, backup. That folder is more than 14 Gb.
    I cannot be more specific I'm afraid… But I mean, the info is there, in that folder bigger than 14 Gb. I can access the pictures, look at every one of them… Frustrating…
    Haha! That's a good link!
    cheers!

  • When doing a second "Organize Library" cuz the first was too big, will iTunes recognize what's already copied over?

    I'm stuck with a large folder of music on my PC in My Music folder. And I used "Organize Library" in iTunes but it didn't copy everything over because the amount of music was too big. I've deleted the original copies of music outside of iTunes to open up more space and was wondering if I do a second "Organize Library" if it will recognize that some of the music has already been copied over.

    I don't know what "restore the iPod" is
    It's usually the second thing to do (after Reset) when the iPod is not working correctly.
    Select the iPod in iTunes and click Restore.
    See this -> Restoring iPod to factory settings
    what about my main question? Can I go back to "sync all" but manually block certain albums?
    No because sync all is just that.
    Sycning specific playlists should work fine. And you can create more than one and sync which ones you want.

  • I'm trying to open a 900kb Word doc (240pages) in Pages but get this error message:  Import Warning - A table was too big. Only the first 40 columns and 1,000 rows were imported.

    I'm trying to open a 900kb Word doc (240pages) in Pages but get this error message:  Import Warning - A table was too big. Only the first 40 columns and 1,000 rows were imported.

    Julian,
    Pages simply won't support a table with that many rows. If you need that many, you must use another application.
    Perhaps the originator could use a tabbed list rather than a table. That's the only way you will be able to contain a list that long in Pages. You can do the conversion yourself if you open the Word document in LibreOffice, Copy the Table, Paste the Table into Numbers, Export the Numbers doc to CSV, and import to Pages. In Pages Find and Replace the Commas with Tabs.
    There are probably other ways, but that's what comes to mind here.

  • I uploaded a photo onto my desk top and it was too big when I tried to change it I couldn't get into iPhoto it just wouldn't open

    I uploaded a photo to my desk top as my screen saver and it was too big, when I tried to get back into iPhoto I couldnt, it wouldn't open, I closed it and tried again and it still will not open, can you help me?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • A Protocal Message was rejected because it was too big

    Hi,
    We are having SAP BOBJ 4.1 support pack 2 and patch 3, on linux environment,
    when we run some specific reports we are facing any issue
    A protocol message was rejected because it was too big (more than 100663296 bytes).  To increase the limit (or to disable these warnings), see CodedInputStream::SetTotalBytesLimit() in google/protobuf/io/coded_stream.h.
    we have increased the value of
    List of Values Batch size = 4000
    Maximum list of Valuses Size =  100000
    Still we are facing the same issue.
    Please let me know what could be the issue as other reports are working fine.
    Thanks,
    Balaji.S

    Hi Balaji,
    Yes, However at times issues do appear due to "ulimit" settings.
    Also this error comes from maximum size of protobuf packets, which are exchanged
    between WIPS and DSLBridge service.
    It seems that data being retrieved might have increased.
    Tune the BICSResultChunkSize value to an appropriate one.
    ******Please take a backup of registry before doing the cahnges.
    1. Open the Windows Registry
           a. Click Start > Run. The Run dialog box appears
    b. Type #regedit# in the Open: text box. Click OK. The Registry Editor appears
    c. navigate to the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\default\WebIntelligence\Calculator]
    2. right click, select New > String Value  and name it BICSResultChunkSize and value (e.g. 4000) lower than default 100000 lines
    3. close the Windows Registry
    4. Restart the Web Intelligence Processing Server and the Adaptive Processing Servers that host the DSL Bridge Service

  • How do I know if my image resolution is too low now that the yellow triangle warning is gone?

    I am creating a book in iPhoto 11 for the first time. In older versions, I would get a yellow triangle indicating my image quality was too low for that size image. Based on other threads, it looks like iPhoto no longer gives the warning. What is the best way to know if the image will print okay? Is there a workaround so I can check the quality of the image prior to printing out the book?

    I noticed that there's not resolution waring also.  Create a PDF file of the book and look at the pages at full sized with Preview and determine if the photos are sharp enough for you.
    I ran a test with two images, one 4000 x 3000 pixels and the other 230 x 200 pixels in a 2 photo per page book page and then created a pdf of the book, Modern Lines theme.  This is a screenshot of  the page in Preview at View ➙ View Full Sized:
    This screenshot is of the same photo in a different 2 photo per page layout in the same theme.  It does look more like I expected:
    Right click on the image and select Show in New Window from the Contextual menu.  I'm really surprised the first example of the small image looked as good as it did. I expected a very pixelated image like the second example but iPhoto upsized it rather nicely. So iPhoto can upsize a small photo to some degree but I don't recommend relying on it for such small images.   And it is a very, very, very small image.  Soif your image is reasonably large you should be OK.  But check it in the PDF file.
