Re: [k-9-mail] Unable to send email with large size attachments
I often expierienced a similar issue after sending a big amount of small files with K-9. K-9 moved them from out to sent and I thought the mail went well. But the receiver complained about having got empty files. When I opened my sent mail in the sent folder, I noticed that only some of those files had a size of 0 kB. This happened several times whenever I tried to send big amounts of about 12+ attachments each of minor size. So now I always check the sent mail folder whether the size of attachments is all right. When I try to delete a big amount of mails 200+ K-9 usually crashes. So I assume it has stack issues handling very many items. Uwe Ursprüngliche Nachricht Von: "David W. Jones" Gesendet: 17.

But I sent things over 4 MB, perhaps even close to 20 MB, fairly often, with no trouble. I've been reading the k-9 mail list for years, and have not seen similar reports of trouble. Keep in mind that a 3 MB file is a 4 MB attachment, more or less, with base64 encoding. Mail servers have a configured size limit, as David said. But it would seem odd, these days, for 4 MB to run afoul of that. > I could not email an attachment of over 4 MB via public wifi nor via my own > home wifi. To debug this, you need to look at the server logs, and see what the server recorded. Also, set up adb and see what k-9 logs. You say "could not", but that is not specific enough. For people to help you, you need to be describe more details, including the timeline from pressing send and the precise error you received. You say "could not" about "public wifi" and "home wifi", but do not mention cellular, or anything else. Do you mean "I tried those two things, and can't readily try anything else, and I have never seen it work"? You didn't explain if regular text mail works, and if you have tried successively smaller attachments to find a magic size. Or if your mail provider has a mail size limit. You also did not explain if you have set up another email provider and tried that, or a different client (thunderbird on desktop) to see if that has the same issue. > Strangely enough, those emails were removed from the Out map into the Send > map.

The message going from the Outbox to the Sent folder is not proof that they actually were sent, but evidence that k-9 thought they were accepted by the first-hop server. Overall, I suspect you will find a problem in the email service (or perhaps a network which only allows limited-size connections??), and not in k-9.

[k-9-mail] Unable to send email with large size attachments
Hello, What is the maximum size for sending emails with large attachments? I could not email an attachment of over 4 MB via public wifi nor via my own home wifi. Strangely enough, those emails were removed from the Out map into the Send map. So to me it looked as if the emails were actually send. Only this appeared not to be the case. Otherwise I am a very happy user of K9 mail. So I would really like to know what I should know about attachments that i can email. Many thanks in advance.
