My ISP has no size limit for e-mail attachments and the arbitrary 20mb limit imposed by Microsoft is more than a little frustrating for both me and my clients.
Is there a way to raise this limit?
Office 365 or MAC
Classic/Legacy Outlook (Because New Outlook wasn't saving messages to the local drive.)
Please advise.

The AI answer was basically, you can fix it on windows but not on a MAC.
So, one again, MS is telling all the MAC users that purchase their products to just deal with paying exactly the same as windows users for a drastically inferior product.
If compressing the file to be attached isn't sufficient I suggest using Help> Feedback in the New Outlook menu bar to submit a feature request to the development group, This is something which needs to be addressed at the programming level.
My understanding is that this is not a matter of discrimination against Mac users. The increase can be made in one of 2 ways:
Either way, the sender's service may have no limit but the service of virtually all recipients is restricted — although informal, 20mb is a rather universal standard. An oversize attachment may send OK but still will result in a bounce-back or be stripped.
Have you considered the recommended method of saving to a cloud & including a share in in the email message?
Thank you for trying to help.
• The issue is with pop3 or imap accounts so no Exchange Server or Admin involved.
• Most of my clients have a size limit on their received files that is much larger than 20mb. Yes, there can be bounce backs occasionally with select clients but those are known and can be avoided.
• Constantly managing which clients have banned access for their employees to one or more of the various cloud services is much more of a time suck than dealing with the occasional bounce-back.
• There being a fix for the windows users and not the MAC users is offering an inferior product to the MAC users.
