Why do e-mails containing large attachments fail to deliver to my inbox?

Why do e-mails containing large attachments fail to deliver to my inbox?

This may be a limitation to the size of the attachments your ISP will allow. Please check with your ISP first to see the maximum size attachment they will accomodate.

  • Sent Mail with Large Attachments

    Hello everyone,
    I've noticed that emails I send from Mail on my Mac (which have larger attachments) don't go into my Sent folder.
    There is no record of them being sent. However, I know they've been sent because I get replies to them.
    Emails with no attachments or small attachments go into the Sent folder fine though.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks a lot....

  • Emails with large attachments failing to download.

    I have a problem downloading emails with large attachments (6500KB plus) in Incredimail which I believe is a McAfee NetProtect Plus conflict. When downloading Incredimail shows "RECEIVING", number of emails and the percentage downloaded. With large files it will hang flashing RECEIVING but not increasing the percentage. Task manager shows Incredimail using lots of CPU and also McAfee coming in and out but no traffic on the network.
    The only way to stop this is to cancel receiving and try again. Sometimes this clears it, after two or three attempts. Sometime I have to log onto BT Yahoo mail and delete the large attachment. A side result is that I get emails duplicated because they are still on the host when I cancel and are thus downloaded again. If I boot in safe mode and just start Incredimail then everything downloads in seconds, so I am convinced that it is McAfee scanning that is causing the problem.
    Any suggestions please?

    You are not alone experiencing problems downloading attachments to MS Outlook etc see:-
    Problem with large email downloads in Outlook Expr... 
    I have just been told by the helpdesk there is a 10MB limit, so you should not have a problem.
    Duplicate e-mails are due to session not completing. I have had this problem as well.

  • Trouble with Mail sending large attachments using iCloud

    I am on an iMac running Lion 10.7.2 using Mail 5.1
    My wife and I both have iCloud accounts.
    I have been trying to send an email with three pdf files. The total size of all three files is 48.4 mb.
    Other emails go out without any problem, but this one email will not go out.
    I keep getting the following message:
    Cannot send message using the server ...
    I then try my wife's iCloud account and it does the same thing.
    Can anyone help me figure this out? Is there a phone number or text support to actually talk to someone at apple?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    The total size of all three files is 48.4 mb.
    That's why. That maximum size of incoming and outgoing messages is 20MB:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4863
    Email really isn't designed for transferring large files and all email providers have attachment size limits to avoid people clogging up their mail servers.
    Use one of the many (free) large file transfer services instead.

  • UAG 2010 SP3 - OWA Exchange 2010 - Large attachments fail to open

    We have a UAG 2010 SP3 server in front of Exchange 2010 CAS. On the UAG side we have disabled the component installation and activation for UAG within the session configuration. When users access OWA and open attachments it works fine up until a certain
    size of an attachment. Somewhere around 10MB we are unable to download externally from OWA. At that point when clicking on the attachment a "The page cannot be displayed" is received. 
    Attachments of sizes larger than 10MB are able to be opened internally accessing the CAS directly. Under the Download/Upload configuration of the OWA application in UAG Identify by URL is checked for both (Uploads has Identify by size but Download
    is unchecked). 
    Is there a limitation on UAG to OWA download size? Is there any other configuration that should be checked to alleviate this issue?

  • Cannot receive mails with large attachments

    So I have BIS enabled for my BB Curve 8900 and an email account set up on it.
    The email works fine, I receive emails and I can send email messages from my BB. However, I noticed today that I do not receive emails on my BB that have attachments larger than 7 MB. 
    I have the same email account set up in my Thunderbird client and everything works fine with it, I do get all these large emails.
    I contacted my service provider (Orange) and they could not figure this out.
    Can anybody help me on this issue?

    If that TBird client is running also on your BB, then it is not subject to the same limits that is imposed by BIS.
    Good luck!

  • Why is mac mail embedding my attachments

    My email attachments are embedding when the message is sent to a PC user.

  • Why is my mail heading straight to trash after flickering at the inbox

    Several strange things are happening in mail, firstly a huge surge in russian soliciting appearing in my INbox, not in junk email box, these were reported on to mac mail and now mail gone missing, failure to sync etc. I have had to delete address books at mobileme and my two syncing computers and then reload as there were thousands of multiple entries. Completely disparate info merged. Would really like a clean slate, what to do?

    Try this, even though you say she has no rules (the problem could be that she messed up the junk filter Advanced settings, for example). The instructions are for Mac OS X 10.3 or later; there may be slight differences in Mac OS X 10.2:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
    3. Move any MessageRules.plist (Mail 2.x) and/or MessageSorting.plist (Mail 1.x) files to the Desktop. This is where Mail stores all the rules, including the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
    4. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
    5. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
    6. Go online again if you went offline in step 4.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • Send E-Mails with large attachmenst with exchange 2003 Mailbox

    Hi!
    I have the following setting:
    Exchange 2003 for one Domain an two mailboxes with two different iPhones. One Mailbox/iPhone can send Mails with large attachments (500kB-5000kB) without any problems.
    The other mailbox has the problem, that i can only send with attachments sized about 50 kB. Larger Attachments are blocked by the phone and this mail stays in the Out queue.
    Has anybody a hint for me, where i can change this? I think it must be a user paramter, because one mailbox can send those large attachmenst. The Server it self must be ok - i think.
    Server: Windows 2003 with SP2; Exchange 2003 SP2
    Kind Regards
    Martin

    I agree with you - i think it must be a problem with the mailbox on the server side. But i don't know what to change there?
    I also configed on one iPhone those two mailboxes. One box can send large attachments - the other not.

  • Limit in Mail on receiving large attachments?

    Noticed someone else had a problem with receiving large attachments in Mail and my friend and I also have it now.
    My question is if anyone knows of a limit to size for recieving attachments in Mail. I noticed that Apple has set a default 10 MB limit on their server versions and thought maybe this is so also in ordinary OS X Mail? If so -- how do I change this in OS X?
    (It is really ridiculous that one should not be able to send a small 15 MB file with e-mail any longer -- it is not like we are all getting slower connections, less hard drive space and slower processors all the time, so why does things like this happen?)
    Yes, I know the problem is not releated to ISPs, Mail Servers, Firewalls as I have tested for that in most respects. (No problem sending such a file nor downloading it via web mail, etc.) It could be related to IMAP and Apple Mail.
    /Jerry (in Sweden where you cannot specify decimals on paper sizes under Mac OS X ... )

    Yes, I know the problem is not releated to ISPs, Mail Servers,
    Firewalls as I have tested for that in most respects.
    Yes it is related since this is not a limitation or problem with the Mail.app or with any email client.
    Most ISPs and email account providers have limits on overall message size for received and sent messages similar to the .Mac account message size limit for received and sent messages.
    Your ISP or email account provider may not have such a limit (which is unusual) but the recipient's ISP or email account provider may impose a limit.
    Have you checked with your ISP or email account provider for this account regarding a message size limit imposed for received and sent messages?
    In case you aren't aware, message attachments must be encoded before being sent. The Mail.app uses MIME 1.0 for attachment encoding which is the internet standard. The pre-encoded size of the attachment is increased by 50% or so after the encoding process. A 15MB file will be roughly 22.5MB after the encoding process.
    Check What is the maximum size of email attachments? for information on the attachment encoding process.

  • Mail 4.5 (1084) is not automatically downloading larger attachments.

    Mail 4.5 (1084) is not automatically downloading larger attachments (i.e. a 2 MB file) without the user clicking on the SAVE button or the attachment icon (white square with down arrow).
    Before download:
    The problem is that if the user accidentally deletes the message before downloading the attachment, and then views that message in the trash OR moves the message from the trash back to inbox, the attachment is lost and message appears garbled up.
    This is not a problem if user clicks SAVE or clicks attachment icon itself before deleting it - message and attachment will be readable in trash and when restored to inbox.
    Question:
    Is there a way to force Mail to download all attachment regardless of size without requiring user interaction?
    Thank you
    ig

    Actually smaller attachments are downloaded automatically, or perhaps it depends on attachment type? 
    Try the same with say 2MB .PPT file .. email the file to yourself. It will come through as "click to download" icon (see image above). Trash the message (before SAVE or clicking on attachment), now try opening it in the trash or pulling it back to inbox and then open it. Attachment is gone and you get garbage - clearly extra data is there but is non-readable.
    Not a big issue for a single user - potentially very big issue for an admin supporting large number of end-users, some of which are recent Outlook transplants.
    Btw, I'm using IMAP server and I have enabled "Store deleted messages on the server"

  • Why my icloud mail fails to deliver

    Why my icloud outgoing mail returns as failed to deliver? This is the message: Delivery Notification: Delivery has failed

    Hello, Oscar.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here is the best troubleshooting resource to go through when experiencing issues with iCloud mail. 
    If you experience issues sending or receiving mail on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Check the System Status page to find out whether any known issues are affecting iCloud Mail.
    Make sure that you're connected to the Internet: try opening a webpage such as apple.com in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Go to iCloud.com on a Mac or PC to verify that you can receive email for your iCloud account.
    Make sure that Mail is turned on in Settings > iCloud.
    Make sure that Push is turned on for your device in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data. Then send an email to your account to verify that Push is working correctly.
    Make sure that Push is turned on for your iCloud account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data. If you are using iOS 6, tap Advanced. Then Tap your iCloud account and make sure that Push is turned on. If you have multiple iCloud Mail accounts set up on your device, Push can be used only with one account at a time. Make sure that Push is turned on for your primary iCloud Mail account.
    Turn your device off and back on.
    If the issue persists, turn off each of the settings in steps 4, 5, and 6 above, then turn them back on. If that does not help, follow these instructions to delete the iCloud account from your device, then add the account back:
    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.
    Tap your iCloud account.
    Tap Delete Account. If you store Contacts, Calendar, or Bookmarks data in iCloud, you will be given the option to keep that data.
    On the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars screen, tap Add Account, then tap iCloud to begin setting up your iCloud account again. If data from your device is stored in iCloud, you will be given the option to merge that data with the data on your device.

  • Mail won't download messages with large attachments

    Mac OS 10.7.5
    Apple Mail 5.3 (1283)
    When someone sends an email to me with an attachment of around 4 or 5 MB or larger (I haven’t quite figured out the size limit…it seems to vary a bit), Mail stops downloading all mail. I have to go into my webmail, remove the message with the attachment, and then all of a sudden Apple Mail will resume downloading e-mails from the server. Other computers in our office do not exhibit this behaviour, although they are using identical network, mail server (at Siteground, not managed by us), version of Mail, version of OS, etc.
    When Mail exhibits this, I can ‘Get Info’ the account and I can see all the messages marked as from ‘Unknown sender’ and the e-mail sizes.
    How do I resolve this?

    Try AttachedIn to send large attachments!
    Very quick, easy to use and secured!

  • Mail only downloads headers of emails with large attachments

    Hi-
    I have Maverick.
    My mail is delivered though an Exchange Server.
    At present emails download fine UNLESS they have a large attachment.
    If they have a large attachment, the email will appear in the central "preview" pane with the address of the sender and the subject line, but will otherwise not download.
    The email will only start to download once I click on the email in the preview pane. This can be laborious if I have 50+ emails with large attachments.
    How do I configure mail so that it will download the emails, irrespective of the size of the attachments.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Some problems with Exchange mail have been solved by disabling Autodiscovery.

  • Cannot Download Large Attachments from .Mac Into Mail

    I recently opened a .Mac account, and can't download any emails with attachments larger than about 300k into Mail. Smaller attachments will eventually download, but take an age (2-3minutes minimum). The progress 'clock' alongside the Inbox icon in Mail won't complete a full revolution (I assume from this Mail isn't syncing properly with the .Mac server) and I have to force quit the program to get it to close.
    I can, however, send and receive emails OK otherwise, and if I go into my .Mac account via webmail I can download any attachments from there no problem, at a normal rate for my broadband connection (1Mb on Tiscali). Apple Support couldn't help much, and suggested I post here. Any ideas?? It's driving me mad! Ta in advance. BBM

    BBM,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    Do you have an email account provided by your ISP?
    If so, does it exhibit anything like this behavior?
    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced, what are your
    selections for Keep copies for Offline Viewing?
    Ernie
    Hi Ernie, and sorry for the slow reply, been away for a few days. My ISP email account doesn't exhibit any of this, and the advanced settings for .mac are to keep all messages and attachments. Going by other posts on similar topics, it looks like a major bug in Mail/.mac syncing. Have you heard of any progress in solving it at Mac's end yet? Regards, BBM
