About MaximumAttachmentSize?












0















Im trying to increase the attachment size of emails and i find out it could be done from modifying the registry by accesing the sub key from there and change the value to 0 to have no limits for the attachments.



I heard its also it could be armful to modify the registry sometimes and you have to know how to make registry backups and restoring, which is i know how to do both.



My question is would it still be harmful if i changed only that subkey or it is okay to do it? Is there anything else i need to know about?

  • What mail client (and version) are you using? What email - IMAP or exchange? Assuming it is Outlook note changing MaximimAttachmentSize to 0 will only affect warnings about size - it will not let you send unlimited size attachments. See here

  • We really need more information here. Attachment size of emails from what program? Your question doesn't say, and many different clients could use the Windows registry.
