Hi,

I bought a large file off ebay and Supanet won't accept it due to their very low maximum size receive email capacity (5mb max attachment size I think). I have given them my Yahoo email as an alternative but I can't see what the maximum attachment size is - does anybody know?

    i think gmail and hotmail is 10MB so i would hope it is the same, or ask them to send it via msn messenger or something. or split it up into smaller chunks!

    What is the largest message I can receive?
    With a free Yahoo! Mail account, you can send and receive messages up to 10 MB.
