HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Someone just sent me 55MB of email and I'm on a fairly slow connection. I can't get to the mail I want to get to because this is downloading. 34 minutes to apparently. Very frustrating. I'll just look up some Heather online. Link to post Share on other sites

stemik 14 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 i have noted in recent times that folks are sending more and more large email. It's not unusal to receive email around 20mb...which was unheard of only a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 there's a limit on the company email. 10meg. Not had a huge one through yahoo or gmail. Prob no limit on those. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 There seemed to be a limit on sending big mails from OCN previously but they seem to have dropped that now. Link to post Share on other sites

I can't get to the mail I want to get to because this is downloading. 34 minutes to apparently. If you contact your ISP, they will be able to delete the offending mail. OR you could go to your netmail mailbox (the place where the emails are stored until you "fetch" them) and just delete the big one without looking at it. OR you could use Mailwasher, which allows you to look at the headers of emails (and who sent it, etc) and delete at the server without downloading the whole mail. I use MW to get rid of spam and other annoying stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 In away it's not an offending mail because it is some photos I'm expecting. So it was something I wanted, but not all at once like that! Link to post Share on other sites
