Apple mail ignore large files
The frustration of dealing with large files in Apple Mail!
By default, Apple Mail has a limit on the size of attachments it can handle. If you try to send or receive a file that exceeds this limit, you may encounter issues. Here are some possible solutions to help you ignore large files in Apple Mail:
Method 1: Increase the attachment size limit
- Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
- Click on "Accounts" and select your email account.
- Click on "Advanced" and then "Size Limit" (or "Attachment Size Limit" in older versions).
- Increase the size limit to a higher value, such as 20 MB or 50 MB, depending on your needs.
Method 2: Use a third-party plugin
There are several third-party plugins available that can help you manage large files in Apple Mail. Some popular options include:
- Attachments Plus: This plugin allows you to upload large files to cloud storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive, and then share the links with others.
- Large File Sender: This plugin enables you to send large files by uploading them to a server and sharing the link with the recipient.
- FileDrop: This plugin allows you to send large files by uploading them to a server and sharing the link with the recipient.
Method 3: Use a cloud storage service
Instead of attaching large files to your emails, consider using a cloud storage service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive. You can upload your files to these services and share the links with others, making it easier to manage large files.
Method 4: Use a file transfer service
Services like WeTransfer, File.io, or SendSpace allow you to send large files by uploading them to their servers and sharing the links with others.
By implementing one or more of these methods, you should be able to manage large files in Apple Mail more effectively and avoid issues with file size limits.
