googlesystem.blogspot.com — Gmail upgraded the maximum attachment size from 10 MB to 20 MB. Gmail was quite forgiving and you could send more than 10 MB in some cases, but now it's possible to send at least 20 MB in one message.

Unfortunately most other email services won't even handle 20mb attachments. At least for now we can have some gmail on gmail 20mb action.....and if others follow suit like they did with overall email storage space, then we should be seeing larger attachments all around pretty soon.

A lot of folks, including me, use gmail to have an off site back up, so this is really useful, especially if you have multiple gmail accounts...edit - didn't see guspaz's post...

wtf, you can send .zip files. Any archive just can't contain any of forbidden files (.exe, .com, etc.)

You must be old. 10 megs is nothing. I limit my users to 100 meg files. If you need to send something to a client mailing them a cd is not very efficient either is trying to explain how to use ftp. You need to loosen up. Get with the times.

Trying to explain to a user how to use ftp is not worth it. I let them mail what ever they want with a notice that a lot of systems will limit to 10megs it that kind of sets its own size limit.

@lieutenantmuddCan you imagine Google doing audio targeted ads? I think their accuracy with the text ads has been pretty crazy (e.g. I had an e-mail about the Renu contact cleaner recall and the ticker ad I got above the e-mail was for a lawyer who could help you seek payment for damages if you'd been injured by the cleaner).Think about that... you jokingly have a conversation talking like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs and get an audio ad for moisturizer next time you talk....
