like the title showed, can we do this? Sometimes, our attachments are too big size.

Dear Taylor

Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community.

Based on your description, I know your consult. For this, you can adjust the attachment size limit in Outlook for Windows. Here are the steps:

  1. Open Outlook and click on "File" in the top left corner.
  2. Click on "Options" and then select "Mail" from the left-hand menu.
  3. Scroll down to the "Send messages" section and click on "Message size limit".
  4. Here you can adjust the maximum size of attachments that can be sent. The default limit is 20 MB, but you can increase or decrease this as needed.
  5. Click "OK" to save your changes.

If your attachment is still too large to send, you may need to consider using a file-sharing service such as OneDrive or Dropbox to share the file instead.

Hope this can help. If there is any update, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks for your precious time. Have a nice day.

Sincerely

Katherine

    If Microsoft can't fix this there is no reason for me to have paid version.

    I have the same issue, there is no size limit under send message and these instructions do not work at all with the "new" outlook as the "File" isn't even there.
