What size e-mail attachments can I send and receive?
Our mail server is restricted to 50 MiB (this also includes the message text and headers). However, when an e-mail is sent or received, other mail servers, with different restrictions may be involved, over which we do not have any influence.
Please also note, that most attachments will be base64 encoded. This results in an overhead of approximately 33% in size. Thus a file with a size of 20 MiB will actually use about 26.6 MiB disk space.
