Both of these things are ultimately your responsibility, not Mail's.
If you had evidence of some other email program that allows you to send these attachments, what kind of attachments you are trying to send, or an indication of what size of attachments your email service allows, then you could start to build a case from that against Mail.
Given the information you have provided however, it seems like you are just dissing Mail for something it was never intended to do and that you already knew it couldn't do.
i.e. - Trolling.
Oh,go fkuk yourself and your trolling.
Just to make sure that I am not misunderstood by you again.
1.I know my
single email limit by my service providers (3 different,3 different locations as you apparently missed to read in my posts) is 50MB.
All the clients have open mail servers as do I.
There is occasions when I have sent a total of 300MB+ of pictures via mail to the client.
No problems.
2.And if i manage to send 75% of the time 2-7 emails, each 5-25MB (25 being the highes that I usually use) how the hell I cant do it the rest of the 25%? Ok,ok,maybe the closer percentage is around 15-20% when the mail goes down.
So tell me,how on earth could that be my internet service providers (remember,all 3 DIFFERENT of them) fault that my mail application crashes then? What kind of "signal" do they send that causes that?
3. The files are .jpg´s. Occasional TIFFs. Pictrures,you know?
4. What? Mail is not supposed to use to
send files?
What on earth are you talking about?
Mail is used to send files all the bloody time!
Music files (via studios/musicians/produces/executives) , video files (QT clips of between ad/editors/clients),documets (PDFs and indy/freehand whatevers) and photographs.
That just what I and my clients send daily.
Are you telling them that they shouldnt do it because :
Mail for something it was never intended to do and that you already knew it couldn't do.
Stop being such a bloody apologist,will you please?
We have different uses for mail,as you can see.
It would help me
and my clients a lot.
A simple,robust outbox, where I could unload say 5-10 mails with pictures.
Without worrying that when I leave it alone to send the mails, it goes belly up,sending only 3 1/2 mails,leaving the rest not only unsended,looses them in the process,so I have to compile the mails again.
Do you honestly think I am being unreasonable for wanting/needing that kind of properties and reliability?
Remember,we are living year 2007 now.
Besides that, I would love to see Donnacha's idea implemented in Mail 3.0... it would make Mail so much better.
