Whats the maximum file size I can send as an attachment using BT Yahoo! Mail?
Email was originally designed to only handle short text documents that could be sent in a few seconds. It was not designed to deal with large files, which require a user to be connected to their mail server for long periods of time. For this reason the maximum email size is set at 20Mb for your BT Yahoo! email account. You may find it hard to send attachments that are larger than about 15Mb. If you are using a dial-up service we recommend keeping attachments below 3Mb. If you need to send large files (via broadband or dial-up) you can try these alternatives: Zip up your files before you email them Single or multiple files can be compressed with utility programs such as WinZip or Stuffit. Depending on the file, you can often reduce the file size a great deal. Transferring files online Using an online backup and storage site like BT Digital Vault is an easy way to share extremely large files – up to 1Gb – with your family and friends.
