Message/attachment size limits?

(Running Vista Ultimate 64-bit, SP-2, IE-7, classic mode,
dial-up.)

Background: I have no problems sending one or two .jpg
files as attachments to emails. I am unable to send many
more than that. I just tried to send 9, and for a while it
indicates it is sending, and then it stops and starts over,
with the same result (no error message). I removed one, and
tried to send 8; same story. I removed another, trying to
send 7, with the same result; when I got to 6, it worked
fine.

So, is there a setting I can adjust to enable me to send
more files as attachments? Is there a way to estimate the
size/amount of files I can send as an attachment?

Any enlightenment appreciated.

Hi,

The size is heavily dependent on the mail servers involved. Even if you are
able to send a large batch, the intended recipient may not be able to
recieve it. I generally recommend that you stay under 10MB in size to avoid
problems. You might try resizing images before sending for casual email.

Every ISP I've been a customer of, which is only 2 however, had a limit
of 30MB total & unlimite dnumbe rof attachments although initially it
was 10 attachments. As of the size of mail stored on their server,
w/othout downloading & deleting from your Internet provider's server, it
was either unlimited or enormous size like 2GB.

You may need to find another way to send your Sheep Porn
So either your ISP sucks or some settings/setup is wrong.
I don't believe just 10 photos would overload

I think DIALUP is the root cause of your problem.

You should go back to dial up.
