Hello,

When I try to send attachments of any size in yahoo mail I get a warning that the attachments are too big. Today i tried to send 2 6mg files total 12mg. I received the warning they were too big. I'm using .05% of my Tb storage. Can someone please explain why I'm restricted to sending small attachments?

Thanks


Windows / Chrome 131.0.0.0

Hi,

Have you tried with a different file to see if you still get the error? The total file size limit is 25MB for a single email, so there's maybe an issue with your Web browser. You can try clearing your browser's cache and cookies to refresh it.

If the issue persists, try accessing your Yahoo Mail account in incognito mode and ensure to disable your browser's extensions if they're active in this mode. Otherwise, try with another browser.

In case you still can't attach your files, please check the file type as some types such as .exe, .bat, .iso, .hta, .cmd, .jar, .lnk, .vbs,... aren't allowed to by sent for security - to prevent malware.
