PC DB: No Limit to the Size of an Attachment File

 Last reviewed: May 16, 1995
Article ID: Q87382
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 2.1e, 3.0, and 3.2

The Microsoft Mail system itself does not limit the size of an attachment file that can be created. Outside factors can prevent the creation of a large attachment file:

  • Hardware limitations: There might not be enough hard disk space to store a large attachment file.
  • User configuration limitations: There may be a file size limit set on a user's network ID so that large files cannot be created.
