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.

The largest message size you can receive on iCloud is 20 MB, and there's no way to change it.
