About MaximumAttachmentSize?

0

Im trying to increase the attachment size of emails and i find out it could be done from modifying the registry by accesing the sub key from there and change the value to 0 to have no limits for the attachments.

I heard its also it could be armful to modify the registry sometimes and you have to know how to make registry backups and restoring, which is i know how to do both.

My question is would it still be harmful if i changed only that subkey or it is okay to do it? Is there anything else i need to know about?

What mail client (and version) are you using? What email - IMAP or exchange? Assuming it is Outlook note changing MaximimAttachmentSize to 0 will only affect warnings about size - it will not let you send unlimited size attachments. See here

We really need more information here. Attachment size of emails from what program? Your question doesn't say, and many different clients could use the Windows registry. – Mikey T.K. – 2019-02-07T16:28:43.013

I'm using outlook i think the limits is 20MB for the attachments – Amani Alghamdi – 2019-02-08T15:11:19.680
