It's very easy to email files, simply drag an email into the email window, and it's attached ready to send.

It's also very easy to not think about what you're about to send. In the case if email attachments, size does matter, this cannot be stressed enough!.

Keep the email as small as possible, use compression software like Winzip on the files before attaching them if possible. WinZip is the most common and widely used file compression utility, and very easy to use. It can be downloaded here... www.winzip.com

There are a few pointers you should consider when it comes to emailing files...

1 Keep the attachment as small as possible, using compression software where possible.
     
2   If you're sending many files, try splitting them up into smaller emails. This will reduce the impact of sending one huge email, in other words it will annoy the recipient a little less!
     
3   Remember there are email size restrictions. Most service providers have an email size limit of between 1MB and 2MB per email. Emails exceeding this limit will get returned to you.
     
4   Remember that all mailboxes also have size restrictions (until you download it onto your own PC). If you fill their mailbox, the emails will get returned to you.
