I keep getting a message
stating "Message Size Limit Exceeded?
How
can I send a message that exceeds the size limit?
Are there other ways
to share and transfer files?
How do I compress a file?
Q
Why did I get an error saying "Message Size Limit Exceeded"?
A The Message size is grater then the allowed size limit.
Parkland Health and Hospitals
GroupWise email system has a "Maximum Send Message" size limit of 5 MB
per email.
If a user tries to send an email that is larger then 5 MB the following
message will appear.
Q Is
there a way to try and send a message that is over the 5 MB limit?
A Try one of the following work arounds.
1 Try zipping the file attachments to compress them.
Zipped files can compress
as much as 80 percent for MS Word or Excel documents.
2 If the email contains several attachments,
you can try splitting the attachments into two or
more emails so that the size of each email
falls within the 5 MB limit.
3 If you need to send large emails on a regular basis.
A Departmental Group Mailbox can be created
for this purpose.

Q
Are there other ways to share files?
A Suggested Alternate Methods for sharing files
1 A network share can be created for storing
and sharing files with others at parkland.
( Call the Service Desk at X25999 for assistance in setting
up a network share)
2 If you are needing to send yourself emails
with attachments for the purpose of having
files available from home.
You should apply for a RAS login. “Dial
up Remote access”.

Service Desk at X25999 for more information)
Q
How do I compress a file?
A You can use WinZip to compress
files.
1 Right click on
the file you want to compress.
2 Select "Add to zip file".
By default the file will be compressed and saved
with a ".zip" extension.
The original file will be left intact.
3 You can then send the zipped "compressed file" via email if
it is under 5 MB in size. |
