large imap files more than 500MB
delay with mail due to many large .imap-files, over 500MB. Any clue?
Thanks, regards, Hans van Zessen
imap is receiving, smtp is sending. :)
Quit Mail.
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
Start Mail, any diff?
What is the Gmail Attachment Size Limit?
The Gmail attachment size limit for incoming emails is 50 MB. That means you can accept emails from other people of up to 50 MB.
But when it comes to uploading files and sending an email, the upper limit is 25 MB.
But that 25 MB limit is based on the actual size of your email message – not the size of the file on your disk. When you upload a file into Gmail, your attachment needs to be re-encoded into a new format (MIME).
Because of this, the size of your attachment can practically double. That means the “real” Gmail attachment size limit is roughly 12.5 MB on disk.
