little gmail question

Phoenix Red · Post by **Phoenix Red** » Mon Feb 14, 2005 8:43 pm

My dad's having a problem with his ISP account blocking incoming e-mail of 10mb or larger, even though he has the storage available. I know gmail accounts have a solid amount of storage space, would a seperate gmail address for these large files solve the problem?

If so, does anyone have a loose gmail invite lying around I could give him?

Gmail has a 5 MB per message limit, no help there.

That's one thing I don't understand about it. All of that space, and it ends up going to waste, since you can't send anything bigger than an MP3 file.

I'm assuming you invited yourself several times...

Krom: doh

Roid: no, I never bothered to switch to gmail.

teegee: probably because they'd really perfer if you didn't use all that space.

i mean, you have to email me or at least tell me your email address, coz i need an email address to be able to send you a gmail invite thingy.

(you SWITCH emails? man, i have like 50 email addresses from all sorts of places all going at once)

solution: Use winrar to split the file into several bits.

Google says otherwise.
