I recently added my work email to my phone. Since then I have received emails with attachments that I am unable to download because the file size is too large. Is there a fix for this? Maybe a setting somewhere that I'm missing? :banghead:

Are you using ActiveSync (Exchange) or are you using POP/IMAP?
If you are Using ActiveSync, are they pushing out policies to your phone? If so, they may have a limit on the size of the attachments that you can open from the phone.
I'm using exchange but there were no policy push to the phone.

Try downloading from the website if they have one instead of the app.
There is a setting on the email app that limits the max size email it will download. Change it to "all".

EMAIL attachments
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 with work email (exchange activesync) when I try to open larger PDF file say 12mb I get an error message that says "Unable to download. File size too large". This is not a compromise for me as I constantly was PDF with work and a lot of them can be quite large. I switched from iPhone 7 hate to admit but it had no problem opening these PDF's. Also, I have tried just about every other popular email app with no luck. PLEASE HELP so I don't have to switch back to iPhone.

What am I missing, is there a setting on the device that I should have cuz I never had this issue at all with my Incredible S and I love this Samsung so not complaining about the phone itself just the sending the pics? Or is it because they have to be named .JPEG or something instead of .jpg, just wondering?
How are you trying to send them? What are you using?

Just through my hotmail account like I've always have?

I don't use hotmail so I don't know if that could be the problem. I just longpress on the pic. Choose share when the menu comes up and select Gmail. Sends with no problem.

Many people I know only use MSN/hotmail so there has to be a reason this is happeining, anyone else have issues but thanks for your responses.
Is is giving you some kind of error message or is your email not going through at all? What does it do when you try to send a pic?

So I send a lot of emails on Craig's List using my Gmail account. For some reason every email address I send an email to get captured by Gmail, and somehow ends up in my contacts list, and gets downloaded on my phone every time I sync after installing a new ROM.
Any Gmail experts know how to prevent this from happening?

I'm def no expert on that but seems like its more likely a setting in your gmail than your phone. Log in with your computer and look through the settings on there.

I have in the past two weeks received some pictures attached to SMS but I can not find the download files. I am not even sure if it does download them. I am using CM 7.2
Any ideas how to check if the system allows this, or where it places them.
1 You must have mobile data on
2 Turn off your wifi
3 Download your MMS
4 Your pic should be in /sdcard/download/$PICTURE_NAME.$EXTENSION (like kittie.jpg)
Ask your friends to send you an MMS and test it

Some carriers dont allow you to receive mms anymore as well.
Mine doesnt...
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda app-developers app
I receive a notice from my carrier usually the next day a MMS is sent and I can see them on a browser.
But I can't find the path Itachi mentioned, there is however a download folder in /mnt/sdcard/download but its empty, and I can only get to this folder through Astro!!
So, your providers allow you to see MMS just online...??
Weird stuff ><
If you don't receive it locally, no files will be downloaded...

Browsers do allow saving images... Long press on any image on a webpage & save it

How to MMS animates gifs? Everytime I try and send one no matter what the size it tells me it's to big. Didn't have this problem with my iPhone 5 or my galaxy s4 but the note 3 just refuses to send them.

Do you need to MMS for that? I would just suggest using a cloud service like dropbox and giving the recipient the url link. Or you could do it through email. I have the same issue and I found no work around for it.
It's just more convenient to send it to them. Yes there are work sons but sometimes I just want to send a quick funny meme gif and I can't. It's just annoying.

I have no problem sending MMS.
I have no problem as well but I am on the latest Darthstalker rom. Only problem I ran across is I cant just copy the gif I have to save it on my device first then attach it and it will play.

Anyone have any luck selecting more than one attachment at a time through the new Gmail update?
Mine only allows one selection at a time. Or maybe I can't figure out how to select more than one. Tap and hold does nothing.

Don't use gmail but as I test I tried to attach more than one item at a time and it didn't allow me to either - looked into settings and all sorts and just seems like it only allows the one at a time I'm afraid - well from what I can see anyways.
But here's an idea why not place your Gmail account into Samsungs Email app then when you have your Gmail account open in the "Email" app open up Multiwindow of gallery or My files and then you can easily drag and drop content quickly and pretty easily.
It's just an idea and probably of no help but thought I'd atleast mention it lol.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was refraining from using the stock email app because It doesnt support push. But I will try it out. Thanks.
