Don't
we all love to send some pictures or files to friends
or relatives ?... Of course we do, and the first thing
that comes in our minds is "Long live email...".
Well guess again. Most free ISP's will allow you to send
emails with attachments of up to 1 MB. Gonuts4free allows
free users to send up to 2 MB. files and business users
up to 5 MB... But sometimes it can be a little of a pain
sending a large file via email... Sometimes people try
to send some pictures in 1 email and after waiting for
some time while the progress bar indicates that the mail
is almost 95% sent an error comes up...
There
are many reasons why this has happened:
1.
The person you are sending to has reached it's mailbox
limit and cannot receive files any more...
2. The email address you are sending to has a temporary
problem....
3. The files you are sending are corrupted or are infected
with a virus...
4. Your email could be blocked by an anti spam filter...
5. You really have exceeded your maximum file sending
limit...
Of
course the problem is that we have to wait a long time
before the email is delivered and then just at about 95%
of the progress bar the mail is refused for any of the
above reasons..
So,
here is the solution. In simple terms, this tutorial will
configure your Outlook Express to divide the big files
automatically in smaller emails. Do not worry about the
actual file that you send. You will notice that it divides
it in various emails containing only text and a little
attachment. Once the person receives these smaller files
it will show as 1 email in Outlook Express together with
the big attachment.
Open
your Outlook Express program via the shortcut on the desktop
or via the "Start" - "Programs"
button.
Click
on "Tools" and then click on
"Accounts".
The
internet account box will appear. Click on "Mail".
Good, you will see your Gonuts4free email. It should be
already highlighted in blue, if not then click on it and
then press "Properties" on
the right hand side...
The
account properties box will appear. Click on "Advanced"
on the top.
Notice
the box called "Break apart messages larger
than". Switch it on and specify an amount
of KB. Around 200 KB should be enough.
Good
now press "OK" and "Close"
the internet account box.
Try
sending a large email of about 1 MB. You will see that
Outlook Express will send a total of 5 emails (1 MB =
1000 KB = 5 X 200 KB). The recipient will receive a total
of 5 emails also, but once all 5 emails are downloaded
it will show as 1 email in his Inbox.
