02 March 2017
Up until now, the service only allowed you to send and receive attachments of up to 25MB.

    Best part is if In incoming mail they allowed 50 MB attachment size its fair but when in outgoing mail 50 mb size attachment is not allowed then how any one can send 50 MB attachment in Outgoing mail, and how anyone can receive 50 MB sized Email.

      That said, i do forward my work emails to my personal gmail account so i always have access to them. The search function of gmail is great for finding old emails.

Just for the sake of giving an example, business use Internet Explorer but that doesn't make this browser any better.

The only one below Gmail is Yahoo mail, which is not even worth mentioning.

          Don't get me wrong - the average Jane/Joe will feel comfortable using either of the ones.

                      Would be useful... 10 years ago. Now we have much better means of file sharing than mail - GDrive being one example.

                      (just stating my personal opinion)

                        It's retarded & should me much more than 50/25MB. You can't send more than cuple of photos as it is. Using Google drive, or any other cloud storage including Google photos gets complicated (to much for older folk's & most other peple that aren't deep into teach to hell its complicated even for me). Chats tend to heavy compress photo's so it's really not an option & 3rd part sharing services also aren't a good solution. This is just one example why it should be much bigger limit for attachments.
