What is the maximum email message size?
Our servers allow email messages of up to 50 MB to be sent or received. However, many other providers have lower limits, which may restrict your effective email size.
While our servers support messages up to 50 MB, sending emails with attachments over 10 MB is not recommended. Email is not designed for sharing large files and may lead to:
Delivery issues with external providers.
Storage inefficiencies due to duplicate storage on both sender and recipient servers.
Potential mailbox performance problems.
For files larger than 10 MB, we suggest using file-sharing platforms. These options are more reliable and efficient for managing and sharing large files:
Dropbox: Upload your files and share a secure download link.
Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive: Cloud storage services offering easy sharing capabilities.
ownCloud: A self-hosted cloud storage solution you can install on your hosting account via Softaculous.
