Windows Live Mail, POP3 protocol account.

How does one know the size of attachment one can receive without jamming one's Inbox ?



Is it determined by the mail server or the individual computer ?
Does it matter if one uses a web-based mail account or a pop3 account ?

Thank you.

Try to follow the rule of Web mail 10MB or 25MB each file per message up to your mail box size limit.

What is maximum email attachment size [Gmail, Yahoo]

My ISP is Bell.net. I'll ask them.

Thank you.

It is with your email service provider, as per the above guidelines.

Thank you for replying.

I use Windows Live Mail.
My ISP as well as Mail Server is Bell.net

There is a mis-communication, I am afraid.

I am looking for the limit of attachment size I can receive.
I had received attachments over 12 MB.

One of my freinds asked if I would be able to receive an attachment of 14.1 MB, and I had no answer for him.
Thus my question here.

Thank you.

Bell Mail Suite - SkyDrive

Somehow I am unable to make myself understood.

I need to know how large of an attachment I can receive so that I can inform my friends of my limit.
Skydrive, which I have, is good only if the sender has Skydrive. In that case, the sender can post the attachment to Skydrive, sends me a link to it, and I can view it by logging on to the sender's skydrive.
Problem is : not everyone of my friends has Skydrive.

Thank you all for the replies.

I'll just resign to the fact that I'll have to tell my senders to zip the attachment if it is larger than 11 MB.
