How big a message will your ISP allow? Most have a limit of 2 to 10 MB.
Some smaller. Do you have a Web site you could upload it to and then send
him a link?

Do not send mail.

[Gunny]

Thanks! I didn't realize that. I use netzero.com as my ISP. I was hoping
just to send it through there.

Thanks for such a quick response

The message is probably larger than your email provider's limit on how
large an outgoing email can be. Ask them what it is.

187mb is more than the message size limit many email providers
have for outgoing email. You may have to upload it to a web site
offering storage for videos and send your uncle a pointer to help
him find it.

Hi. I see I'm not the only one with this problem. Me and my brother make
family videos for fun, and we can't send videos over a certain MB size. Why
is this? Just the other day I tried to email a video (size 702MB) and a
message came up saying "Not enough Memory." Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance,
Nick.

[syrandel]

All the mail box providers have limits.
The limits for attachments go between 2MB and 10MB for the ones I know.
They must prevent too large emails because they don't have unlimited storage
capacities.
A way to exchange videos is to upload them on a web site and send a link to
it by email.
Although uploading 720MB can take a while.
Good luck!

Most email providers have a limit of 10 MB, Gmail has a 20 MB limit.

Pieter

[rober...@bellsouthnospam.net]

Ask your email provider what their size limit is for outgoing messages.
This limit is usually tighter than any limit Windows Mail has, and is
often around 10 MB. The encoding process expands the attachment
as it adds it to the message, often around 30%.

Also, problems caused by antivirus programs are often incorrectly
reported, for example claiming there is not enough memory. What
if any antivirus programs do you have on that machine, and have
you ever had a Norton or McAfee antivirus program on that
machine?

I just had the same problem when trying to mail a 468 MB file via Windows
Mail on Vista 64 Business with 2 GB RAM.
First, this has nothing to do with any restrictions of any ISP! It never
gets this far as to send anything!

When I press the send button, the message window will not go away to start
sending. Windows Mail obviously first tries to read the whole file into
memory and then encode it. Actually it does so bad at this, that it allocates
1,5 GB of memory and seems to try to get even more. With Base-64 encoding the
file should get no larger than 624 MB. Still it wouldn't make any sense to
load the file into memory, it should just be streamed in small blocks to the
mail server!
Windows will try to get more memory by moving as much as possible to the
page file but eventually gives up. Then Windows Mail shows this error message.
Of course it takes quite some time until Windows gives up, and Windows is
very unresponsive during this time (even on a quad core CPU).

So I consider this issue to be a bug in Windows Mail. There is really no
need to keep the attachment in memory. It just has to make sure, nobody is
allowed to write to the file, while sending it.

[rober...@bellsouthnospam.net]

Why do you want Windows Mail to be able to try to send messages so
large that most email providers will reject them? A typical limit is
10 MB per message.

If you want Windows Mail to at least try to break it up into pieces,
click on Tools, then Accounts, then your email account, then
Properties, then Advanced. If there is no checkmark in the box
before Break apart messages larger than, click on this box, then
Apply; then adjust the allowed size until it is close to your email
provider's limit, but not quite that high, then click Apply again.
Click on OK, then Close.

Note that whoever you're trying to send the video to may have an
even lower limit on the size of incoming messages.

Also note that when Windows Mail complains about not having
enough memory, the actual problem is often interference from an
antivirus program, which Windows Mail seldom seems to be able
to report correctly. What if any antivirus programs do you have, and

have you ever had a Norton or McAfee antivirus program on that

computer, even one of the free trial versions that often come already
installed on new computers?

You could always try uploading the video to a web site meant for
storing videos, then email a much shorter message saying how to
download it from that site.

[Gary VanderMolen]

Email was never meant for sending files that large.
Even if you can find a mail client that would not choke on the initial
encoding process, it would be refused by the outgoing mail server.
So, your concern is of academic interest only.

[Moritz]

Thanks for your fast answers, Robert and Gary.

First, yes, it is of academic interest. It's a bug and I like bugs to be
fixed.

But there are mail servers configured to allow mails of this size and if you
directly connect to it to exchange emails of this size with other users this
actually works without problems.
You have to consider, that there are very many people out there how do not
have access to any web space to store such data or only to web space with say
250 MB. Such people may see mail as an appropriate way to send larger files
to someone else.
And when they try, they will find their systems very, very unresponsive for
several minutes, because of this bug in WinMail.

I just tested it without a Virus Scanner running (which should have no
influence of the memory used by the WinMail process), and I got the same
result. Looking at the "Commit Size" it even reached more than 3 GB for the
468 MB file.

But thanks for the hint on breaking a message into many pieces. Although I
am not interested in such a workaround (I address exactly that bug), this
might be useful for others.

You're welcome.

Microsoft has seemed to stop creating new updates for Windows
Mail, other than those used to keep its junk mail filtering up to
date, without deciding to call it obsolete and no longer supported.
And it's possible that its junk mail filtering updates are shared with
some other program still being supported, such as Windows Live
Mail.

There will be no more bug fixes for Windows Mail. It's an abandoned,
dead end product, having been replaced by Windows Live Mail.

There are quite a few websites that allow you to upload and share
a large file for free, including Microsoft's own SkyDrive:

Thanks again, for your answers, Gary and Robert.

That's very sad. I was hoping for some other improvements as well, like
being able to create mail filters being evaluated before the junk filter and
the possibility to store the send items per folder automatically.

I guess it's a little off-topic, but do you know a (free) mail client, which
is capable of the latter feature?

You're welcome.
I understand that Mozilla Thunderbird has tons of third party add-ons,

How large is the video file?
Video files are quite large.
Most email servers have a limit of 2 to 10 MB file size.
A few, like Gmail and Hotmail Plus, have a 20 MB limit.

If you want to send a large file, you can't use email.

Some options are:

1. Use a p2p program, like:

ICQ (http://www.icq.com/download/)
Skype (http://www.skype.com)
Google Talk (http://www.google.com/talk/)

2. Use ftp if you have online space somewhere

3. Upload to a file sharing site, like:

A 187 megabyte video is a very large email and would be huge. If you send
it, the only way to do it is to go to Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties |
Advanced and choose to break apart messages larger than a certain size (set
it to a megabyte). Then the recipient will receive over 187 individual
messages (the file will be encoded so it will be about 30% larger) that will
be recombined to show the video.

I don't think your recipient will be very pleased, especially if they are on
dial up.

You can go to Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced and select the
option to break apart messages larger than a certain size and choose a
megabyte. Then when you send, since there is an increase in size due to
message encoding, you will sent about 300 one megaybte pieces which the user

pieces.
