| | Vista Windows Mail-Message Size Hi, I am having trouble sending and receiving emails. getting messages that the size exceeds maximum message size. These are not large photo or video files, simply pdf etc. I have to go back to my old computer with outlook express in order to execute, so it is not the server.Is it possible to change the settings? Appreciate any help. |

| | Re: Vista Windows Mail-Message Size No because there are no settings to change. Message size limits are set by your ISP, there are no such limits in Vista, Windows Mail, Outlook, or any other email client.

| | Re: Vista Windows Mail-Message Size It would be helpful if you gave us an idea of the size of the message you are trying to send. Windows Mail does not have a limit, but your mail provider does. What is the exact error message? -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Mary H" <MaryH@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:22512F3A-1FAD-46B4-8EDA-E9EF9C29C847@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > I am having trouble sending and receiving emails. getting messages that the > size exceeds maximum message size.

| | Re: Vista Windows Mail-Message Size Are you sure that message is coming from your computer, and not from the email server it is connected to? It's usually the email server that has the limits.

| | Re: Vista Windows Mail-Message Size That message is most definitely coming from the email (SMTP) server you're attempting to send through. It is a "Server Response" message. Here's an example, a 552 message sent from a server to a client indicating the destination mailbox is full: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/254921/en-us XFOR: Error Message: 552 Requested Mail Action Aborted: Exceeded Storage Allocation Hal -- Hal Hostetler, CPBE -- hhh@xxxxxx Senior Engineer/MIS -- MS MVP-Print/Imaging -- WA7BGX http://www.kvoa.com -- "When News breaks, we fix it!"

| | Re: Vista Windows Mail-Message Size That error message is coming from the mail server. As I suspected, you've exceeded the maximum message size as set by your mail provider. There are free websites that will let you exchange large files with others. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Mary H" <MaryH@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:27B13FF5-C74F-43B0-BCB7-32CCC857DF43@xxxxxx Quote: > Here is the message I keep getting: 552 message size exceeds maximum message > size > > "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: > Quote: >> It would be helpful if you gave us an idea of the size of the message >> you are trying to send.
