max message size outlook2007

[Gary D]

I have an XP machine running office 2003, and a VISTA machine running office
2007.
The back end is SBS2008 Domain. All mail size limits have been checked OK at
the exchange server (trust me !).

From the VISTA/Office2007 PC when I try to send a 60MB attachment I get the
message :

"the attachment size exceeds the allowable limit". This only happens on
this Vista/Office 2007 PC.
Everybody else, including me on my XP/Office2003 PC can send 60MB
attachments.

This problem occurs just adding the attachment filename, so appears to be
more of a Outlook restriction on the Vista/Outlook2007 PC. I am tearing
my hair out ! Please , any advice welcomed .

60 meg is a pretty hefty sized attachment. Isn't there another way to
achieve what you are trying to do? I think we're limited to approx 10 meg at
work.

 

[Gary D]

This is only internal, and we have a hefty SBS2008 server, I am the only one
having this problem and only on the VISTA/Outlook2007 setup, my
XP/Outlook2003 PC is fine ! Thanks for reply though.

FWIW, there is no limit imposed by Outlook 2007:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP012319501033.aspx#4

I'm not aware of any default limits imposed by Vista, but I wonder if there
might be some other setting--perhaps a local policy setting--that's
preventing 60MB attachments from working.

Have you loaded the policy editor on your machine to verify that there's
nothing hiding in a corner?

The other thing I might try -- just as an experiment -- would be to see if
Windows Mail has the same attachment limit as Outlook 2007 on your
computer.
