Are there any restrictions related to sending file attachments?

Many e-mail programs and e-mail servers block certain types of files that could

potentially contain a computer virus or other form or malware. Such files include

scripts, batch files, and program files. When you add such a file, Entourage

displays Attachments potentially unsafe in the message window. Since

the files probably will not get delivered, you can click Remove them to

remove the unsafe files.

There is no practical limit to the number of files you can attach to the

message. However, you should be careful with the total size of the files you

send. If you or the recipient have a slow Internet connection, sending or

receiving the message can take an extremely long time. Also, many Internet service

providers (ISPs) place a limit on the size of a message’s attachments, which is usually

between 2 and 5MB. In general, use e-mail to send only a few small files at a time.

REMOVE AN ATTACHMENT

1 Click next to Attachments

( changes to ).

2 Click the file.

3 Click Remove.

Entourage removes the file from

the list of attachments.

●

Entourage attaches the file to the

message.

6 Repeat Steps 2 to 5 to attach

additional files to the message.

7 Complete and send your message.

Note: See the Section “Send an E-Mail Message”

for the specifics of creating and sending a message.
