554 maximum message size exceeded live mail

The infamous "maximum message size exceeded" error!

The error "554 maximum message size exceeded" typically occurs when you're trying to send an email that exceeds the maximum allowed size limit set by your email provider, in this case, Live Mail.

Here are some possible solutions to help you resolve this issue:

  1. Reduce the size of your email attachment: Check the size of your attachment(s) and try to reduce them to a smaller size. You can do this by compressing the files using a tool like WinZip or 7-Zip.
  2. Split large attachments into smaller files: If you have a large file that you need to send, consider splitting it into smaller files and sending them separately.
  3. Use a file-sharing service: Instead of attaching large files to your email, consider using a file-sharing service like WeTransfer, Dropbox, or Google Drive to share the files.
  4. Check your email provider's size limits: Check your email provider's size limits for attachments and messages. You can usually find this information in their help section or by contacting their support team.
  5. Use a third-party email client: If you're using the built-in email client in Live Mail, try using a third-party email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, which may have more flexible size limits.
  6. Contact your email provider's support team: If none of the above solutions work, you can contact Live Mail's support team to see if they can increase the size limit for your account or provide alternative solutions.

Remember to always check the size limits of your email provider before sending large files to avoid any issues.
