When I try at attach a file that's over ~5MB in the default email app I get:
"the selected attachment exceeds the allowable limit set by your email provider"
I'm using a gmail account and I know the limit isn't that small...
I removed the account and did it with the advance setup but everything was set ok, imap...
Didn't find this issue on the web except for outlook.
Anyone else?
Any ideas?

I would like to read my gmail email in MS Outlook on my computer, and while I am away from it, read the new only emails (the ones not yet downloaded to desktop) from my T-mobile MDA.
The way I understand it is done is to POP emails to desktop (which deletes them from the email server) and use IMAP on the mobile device to read whatever is not POPped yet. The problem is that Google’s Gmail does not support IMAP protocol. So how do I do this then, other than to change to an email provider who supports both POP and IMAP?
In gmail's POP service you can choose to either delete or archive email d/l by your device. You could read ur email from your pda then the email you just read would be archived into another folder.
I think what you need to do is change the settings in MS Outlook on your desktop to leave a copy of the email on the server for x number of days. On your PDA change the imap server settings to only download the last x number of messages or messages that were received in the last x number of days. I don't use a POP server anymore but you should be able to use the "tools" then "email accounts" then "view or change exisiting email accounts" and look for something along the lines of leave copy/copies of email on the server so that way Outlook doesn't delete them from the server.... In terms of the POP settings on the PDA make sure that it is never deleting emails off the server otherwise you are going to be faced with "dissapearing" email messages.
Hopefully this helps or someone else can be more helpful.
go to your gmail account, in the settings you can set it to be accessable through POP, do that. Dont forget to set it to leave a copy on the server
On your PDA you need to configure Outlook to accept the gmail accout.
go Start > Programs > Messaging
at bottom of screen choose Accounts
click New
enter email address click next
enter Your Name, User name, Password ( I leave the save password box ticked as I am idle ) click next
choose account type POP3
choose Name POP3 (unless you have option to choose another name you like better) click next
in server information
set Incoming as pop.gmail.com
set Outgoing as smtp.gmail.com
click the options button, page 2 of 3 check Outgoing requires server auth , check box Require SSL
click next
box now shows all Accounts as New, Text Message, POP3
click the OK top right of screen
thats it, done.

...and hence not downloaded to the desktop if I understand correctly.

Gmail does not support IMAP unfortunately. Also, I do not want to go by the number of days or number of messages because those things are not known in advance. I only want to pop email to my computer, and read whatever is not popped to the computer from the mobile device.
tbc_borg, the instructions are helpful if I only wanted to read email from the road. But after email is downloaded to the device, Gmail does not pop it to the desktop, which is not good for me.
I think I found how to do this.
I got another gmail address, set up forwarding of everything from the main email to the second one (with the original left in the main Inbox). I pop everything from the main email to the desktop and from the second email address to the Wizard. I will be receiving duplicate emails to both desktop and the mobile device, but that is better than having only half of emails on the desktop. Any better ideas? I searched extensively, found nothing smarter (well, again, other than finding an email provider that supports both pop and imap protocols).
I had the same problem. What I did was open a second relay a/c, eg [email protected]. I then added a forward on all mails from my normal gmail account to the relay account. On my phone I have my incoming mail server set to the relay account but my outgoing server set to my normal account. This means that all your mails will be forwarded to the relay account and when you want to reply to any of them on the phone it will send them from your normal account!
Bit of a roundabout way of doing things but works fine!
WOW, good hint with the different outgoing server, decmac! It works just as expected!
But I noticed something else that is wrong. I send a test email to my main email address, it gets forwarded to the relay email address. Send/receive from computer, receive the email fine. Send/receive from Wizard, receive it fine as well. So far so good. However, when I send/receive from the Wizard again, the email message that has just been downloaded gets DELETED and is nowhere to be found on the device (not even in "Deleted Items" folder.) I wonder what I have missed in the settings somewhere.
Yeah, that's a problem. It seems to only keep a current copy of your Gmail inbox on the phone so when you do send/receive it overwrites everything. What I have done to get around this is select "Get Message headers only" and select "Include x Kb of message body" Make x big enough to get all of your messages. It then keeps my messages in my inbox until I either delete it or select "Get entire message and any attachments" in the email message.
Not sure if this would work but maybe move messages into a local folder on the phone. Haven't tried this but in theory it should work! The above works perfect for me!
Perfect! It works!
Vielen Dank!
Kein Problem
Some time ago I raised this problem in connection with my TyTN II and got no real response.
As exactly the same problem affects the Touch HD I thought I would ask again here.
If an email with an attachment is received from a POP3 mail server it is only possible to see the attachment if the email was sent in Text format. If the email was sent in HTML format the attachment although downloaded remains invisible.
Essentially if an email with an attachment is received via POP3 in Text Format then both the message and the attachment are received by the Touch HD and the attachment can be opened by clicking on the link in the message.
However, if the same email is sent in HTML Format the message and the attachment are again received by the TyTN but there is no link to the attachment in the message and it cannot be opened.
If the same emails are collected from Outlook via ActiveSync all the attachments are visible and can be opened irrespective of whether the email is in Text or HTML Format. Likewise if one uses an alternative mail program such as Flexmail the attachments can all be seen.
To make matters worse it seems as though the "hidden" attachments are saved with the message on the device itself rather than on the Storage card so could rapidly eat up the available memory.
I therefore wondered if anyone had found a solution to the problem.
Many thanks
I have an outlook account for email, which is an exchange server. However it will not active synch because I don't have a certificate. However, I can synch manually without issue. My question, though, is any attachments that I get I cannot open. I have it set to my storage card, but if i go the storage card, it saves it in an unrecognizable format. I will click on it and a message will pop up saying that this file is not any correct format. When I am in the email and I press the attachment it keeps on saying "the attachment will be downloaded the next time you send/receive". Of course this message will appear everytime I click on it, even after hours. Can anyone help me?

Certificate issue: If you set up your Exchange manually, delete it and try automatic setup. It should download the certificate from the server. Also, don't set it up via ActiveSync; instead, do it on the phone, itself, without being tethered to a computer. If you can manually sync, then you should be able to set it to "push" emails by going to Connections > Push and selecting "As they arrive".
Attachments: What is the file type? If you're trying to "execute" a program (cab) file, I don't think it'll let you - total pain in the ass on that.. Also, go into your settings
outlook > ("edit server settings" screen) > Menu > Advanced > (highlight "E-Mail") Settings > ("Download size limit") Entire Message
The error you're receiving I think has to do with the fact that you're not downloading the full email at the time of your initial sync. That's why you should set it to either push the emails (as they arrive) or set a time interval - whatever you choose, you just want to make sure that it's downloading the entire email.
The email app in the htc, only shows 50 items at a time. any way around this? Also, only my inbox seems to get synced and none of the other folders.
Than x in advance guys.
Go to start> extra.. choose active sync.
Menu > Options... select E-mail, choose on bottom from your screen "settings".
You can now change if you want to download older mail and change attachment settings. This gives me more then 50 e-mails.
Hope its clear (have a dutch OS)
I did find this registry entry to change the max header for hotmail emails. Default is 50. I tried changing it to 75 but no luck. Anyone?
HKLM/Services/Windows Live/Plugins/Mail Max mail headers (50)
Haven't tried this but how about adding the hotmail account using the tip for adding a second account. That way you don't use windows live and you get all the settings you would like a normal email account?
Hi I Use My HD2 To See My Email But There Is A Problem That every Time I Try To DownLoad The Attachment Video Or File In My Email The System Said The File Is Too Big And I Cant DownLoad It So Can Anyone help Me Please .
Thanks In Advance And I'm Sorry For My English
by default the message and attachments are saved to phone memory. could your memory be full? try ...
mail tab - inbox - menu - tools options storage and select use storage card for attachments
I Do This Step And I Also Had The Same Problem ??????
Do you use hotmail account (or any other from windows live)? I have the same issue with my hotmail account however when using another mail account via pop3 access then I have no problem.
With hotmail I am not able to make the phone to download complete message with its attachement. Every mail is just a header and when I want the complete message with the attachment I have to click on the attachment icon and it starts to download. But this is max up to a few MB (I am not sure but I think that I was not able to download attachment bigger than 3 or 4 MB.
On the opposite when using my second mail account accessible via pop3 I can set up the phone to download the whole message instead of just header and the size of attachment doesnt matter.
Yes Thats Right I Use HotMail , But Do You Have Another Program That Let Me DownLoad More Then That
No, I am using just the built-in outlook - so this is not dependent on a software. I think it is a question of the way how do you communicate with mail server. As I said when I am using pop3 access I have no problem. However for Hotmail the default access is not via pop3.
How Can I Use OutLook can AnyOne Tech Me Please
Hotmail, POP3, IMAP4, et cetera are all garbage ways to access your e-mail.
Paying for hosted Exchange is the best way in my opinion...
...or, even better, do what I do and host your own Exchange at home!
