Okay so my email is REALLY ticking me off. I have yahoo (rocketmail) email. And it's not letting me attach files bigger then like 400kb, when the limit is 25 MB. Like I left my email up for an hour with a 474 kb file attaching, its STILL not attached. I've had to folder all of my petz to send them and some of them I can't even send at all because they're too big. I've never had this problem with my email before, and my computer is fast in every other process, so it's not just being slow. AGHHH -headdesk- I mean I thought about getting a new email, but it just seems stupid to just get one for petz, and I hate having multiple email accounts. Anyone know what's going on? I'd greatly appreciate any advice/help. XP

Have you tried zipping up the files into a .zip folder or .rar folder and attaching them that way?
This is why I have a 300GB external harddrive, so I can keep all my files safely on there because there is no way Gmail would send that, haha.
But, seriously, I would get a Gmail account if you're going to switch. It's very fast and usually attaches pretty quickly. It has the same limit as Yahoo, but overall Gmail seems much better than Yahoo, and especially better than Hotmail.

I have no experience in Yahoo mail, but I recommend another service if you are having attachment difficulties. Hotmail has a 10 MB limit per email, which is considerably lower, but the size of the actual files you can upload to accumulate to the total 10 MB is limitless up to 10 GB. GMail I have been told is pretty good, but you do require an invite if I recall, unless they have reformatted how GMail is run.
Personally, I have had zero issues with Hotmail. If you alter the settings to suit your needs, it works flawlessly.

Yes, I've zipped the folders and they still take forever to attach/don't attach for hours. I guess that'll be my next option, just getting a new email. Thanks Artemis and Ela =)
