Increase Outlook 2010 Attachment Size
Most email providers limit the maximum size of attachments to a specific number, usually between five and 25 Megabytes. Companies like Microsoft have even started to offer workarounds by combining their email service (Hotmail) with offsite storage (Skydrive) to bypass attachment size limits.
Users of Microsoft Outlook 2010 may have noticed that the email client is not nearly as flexible when it comes to sending large file attachments. A limit of 20 Megabytes seems to have been hard coded into the email client. The settings do not offer any option to increase or decrease the attachment size limit.
