Default message larger than current system limit -can i change the limit?

Outlook does not have such a limit. The limit is imposed by your mail
server, whether it's POP3 or Exchange.

If this is a work Exchange account that you have, the restriction is likely
placed upon everyone to relieve the burden on the server. You can ask the
Exchange admin or Network admin for a temporary lift of the restriction but
rarely will it be lifted permanently. You will likely also find that you
have a mailbox cap as well so you will need to maintain your mailbox size.

If you are trying to email someone locally, that is within your company,
don't. Put the documents on the network instead in a location the other
person can access. Don't clutter up your mailbox AND theirs.

"...message is larger than the current system limit..." Can i change the
limit to receive larger emails? I have construction documents/plans that
require more space. It is awkward to ask a client to split it up and is
burdensome to them.
