Large files don't appear in my mailbox. Sometimes they do,sometimes they don't. Is there a limit I can adjust?
Or is there something else I can do?
Thanks

The following instructions work in 2004; I assume 2008 is similar:
- Go to Tools -> Accounts
- Double-click on the relevant account
- Select the Options tab
- Uncheck "Partially receive messages over ..."

If you have a partial message, there should be a link in the Preview Pane
that says something like Receive entire message. There is also a similar
command on the Message menu.

Entourage has no limit. Contact your ISP to find out what the limit is. Most
attachment limits are 10MB. It used to be 5MB.

They also can limit per day, per hour or per number of recipients.

See this page for limits for Verizon, Comcast, EarthLink, etc
