Q: Error Message in Mail.  How do I increase the size of allowed incoming messages/attachments in Mail?

Someone tried to send me an email from a gmail account to my iCloud.com email and the first one went through.  The second sent back this message to the sender:

 

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

     myicloud.comemailaddress

 

Technical details of permanent failure:

Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain icloud.com by mx6.mail.icloud.com. [some.numbers.here]

 

The error that the other server returned was:

552 5.2.3 Message exceeds local size limit.


So how do I increase the size of the messages and attachments I can receive?  Or can I not do this?  It was only three pictures that were supposed to be sent, but they're each about 6-7MB and there were 3 attached to each email.


Thank you.
