Hotmail, now known as Outlook.com, has specific attachment size limits that users should be aware of when sending emails. The maximum file size for attachments that can be sent in a single email message is typically 34 megabytes. However, if you are sending multiple attachments, the total size of all attachments must still remain within this limit. It is also important to note that the total size of an email, including the message body and headers, should not exceed 35 megabytes.
If your attachments exceed these limits, Outlook.com may suggest using OneDrive, Microsoft’s cloud storage service, which allows you to share larger files by sending a link rather than attaching the files directly. This can be a convenient option for sharing larger documents, photos, or videos. Users may find further details regarding current attachment limits and additional features by visiting the Outlook.com help center or the specific support section on the current web page.
