This newsgroup discusses the released versions of Outlook. The Microsoft
Office 2010 forums are at:

Besides, this is not an Outlook issue. Your e-mail provider established an
anti-abuse quota to prevent users from foolishly attempting to use e-mail as
a file transfer medium. Also, that 20MB attachment meant your e-mail was a
lot larger than that. All e-mail gets transmitted as text. That means
attachments have to get encoded into a long text string inside a MIME part
within the body of your e-mail. That encoding bloats the size of the
attachment by 137%, or much more. So what you ended up trying to send was
28MB, or a lot bigger. Look at the Size column to see how large is the
e-mail (save a copy by hitting Ctrl+S and look in the Drafts folder when you
are composing new e-mails to see how big they will be when sent).
You will need to stop sending such HUGE e-mails through your e-mail
provider. You might find another e-mail provider with larger quotas but you
will probably most with the same or smaller limit.
E-mail is NOT a reliable file transfer mechanism. It wasn't intended or
designed for that. It was designed to send lots of small messages. There
is no CRC check on the file to ensure integrity. There is no resume to
re-retrieve the file if the e-mail download fails. There is no guarantee
the e-mail will arrive uncorrupted. Large e-mails can generate timeouts and
retries due to the delay when anti-virus programs interrogate their content.
Stop using e-mail to send large files. It is rude to the recipient. Not
every recipient might want your large file. Not every recipient has
high-speed broadband Internet access. Many users still use slow dial-up
access, especially if all they do is e-mail. You waste your e-mail
provider's disk space and their bandwidth to send a huge e-mail. You waste
the e-mail provider's disk space and bandwidth at the recipient's end. You
eat up the disk quota for the recipient's mailbox (which could render it
unusable so further e-mails get rejected due to a full mailbox). You
irritate users still on dial-up that have to wait eons waiting to download
your huge e-mail. Some users have usage quotas (i.e., so many bytes/month)
and you waste it with a file that they may not want. Stop being rude. Take
the large file out of the e-mail.
Save the file in online storage and send the recipient a URL link to the
file. Your e-mail remains small. It is more likely to arrive. It is more
likely to be seen. The recipient can decide whether or not and when to
download your large file. Be polite.
Your ISP probably allows many gigabytes of online storage for personal web
pages. Upload your file there and provide a URL link to it. Other methods
(of using online storage), all free, are:
http://www.adrive.com/ (50GB max quota, 2GB max file size)
http://www.driveway.com/ (500MB max file size)
http://www.filefactory.com/ (300MB max file size)
http://www.megashares.com/ (10GB max file size)
http://www.sendspace.com/ (300MB max file size)
http://www.spread-it.com/ (500MB max file size)
http://www.transferbigfiles.com/ (1GB max file size)
http://zshare.net/ (500MB max file size)
http://www.zupload.com/ (500MB max file size)
If it is sensitive content and when storing it online in a public storage
area or to guard it against whomever operates the online storage service,
remember to encrypt it.
