I got an error with outlook express when I tryed to send it. It said An error has occured. I'm going to try withh my own email waiting for it to attach

reculvermary · 05-26-07, 12:37 PM

I will send u an e-mail when i recive it Thankyou so very much

Shyzar · 05-26-07, 12:41 PM

Bad news, I don't think it will work. My computer doesn't want to cooperate (this is a 498 MHZ machine with 64MB of RAM though) and my email doesn't allow attachments of more than 5MB. But if you have a USB stick, that's the best way to go. Download it to the USB on another computer with better internet, than transfer it too yoour computer. Thats what I do.
But I'll try one more timewith outlook

I want to see if outlook express works for me. I will send you an email, subject outlook test. If it works I'll try again with the file.

If you can't D/L the patch from the web on dialup, how you gonna D/L the email attachment on dialup. The email will take just as long to D/L as the patch!:hmm:

Shyzar · 05-26-07, 01:09 PM

Sending the file, I pressed send and outlook stopped responding, but i've learned that that doesn't always means it won't, it means it's processing it.
If worst comes to worst, I'll try it on my other 1.4 gig 256MB RAM computer

Shyzar · 05-26-07, 01:23 PM

There seems to be a problem with how large the file is. I think its too big to send over outlook. Anybody here know if this is right or wrong and whats the biggest file you can send?

Shyzar · 05-26-07, 01:37 PM

I'll send you an email with a small text attachment. If it works, it is probably the filesize that is the problem

UnSalted · 05-26-07, 01:39 PM

Most ISPs limit the size of files you can transfer in mail IIRC.

Shyzar · 05-26-07, 02:02 PM

I'm going to compress it. Which compressing tool makes the file the smallest?
I tryed WINRAR. Compressed file from 147 to 100 MB but still too big to send.

MONOLITH · 05-26-07, 02:12 PM

Spdklls is right. I'm not sure what the difference is going to be. If he's downloading at 56K, that's all he's gonna get whether it's from your mail sever or the website.

Also, I don't think any mail service will let you attach something that big.

You could try MSN messenger transfer instead?

If it's a problem of the source website uploading too slow to him, I could put it on my server; but I think his 56K is going to bottleneck him no matter where he gets it from.

Time to enter 2007 and dump that slowband.
