Why does my email say Attachment is too big?
Outlook users will receive the message “Some recipients may not receive this message because of image attachments. Resizing large images may help the message get delivered. Resized images will be a maximum of 1024×768 pixels.” This message occurs because Outlook 2013 and later versions have a default attachment size limit of 20 megabytes (20480 KB) for internet email accounts. This prevents your computer from trying to upload large attachments. This attachment limit applies both to Outlook and Office 365 versions.
