Good Day,

We would like to know if there's a feature/addons for limiting an attachment whenever composing an email. Let say the Total Attachment that can be send is only 10MB. Is there a way for this?

Please advise

Thanks

I don't know if there's an add-on for this, but the total size of attachments is displayed in the attachment pane. Note that most providers state the maximum allowed message size, which is about 1.33 times the attachment size, so a 7.5MB attachment results in a message of about 10MB.

To see the size of a message, save it as a draft, then enable the Size column in the Drafts folder to view the message size.
