An e-mail attachment is a file that is usually "attached" to an email message as a way of sharing files or transporting files to a different computer.

Webmail
Apple Mail

Troubleshooting Techniques

If you're not able to send an e-mail (with or without attachments) make sure:

1) That you are not over your disk space quota. An e-mail will usually be sent out from the Technology Services office when you are over your disk space quota, but if you want an exact amount you can view that by going to the GTS Tools Page. Under the account tools section, click on "Check Disk Usage." If you're unable to do this, contact the Technology Helpline.

2) That the attachment that you're trying to send isn't too large. If you are trying to send it as an attachment and it doesn't work, try sending it as a link instead. Please visit the Webmail wiki article to learn more about how to do this.

3) That you are using an web browser that fits your needs. If you are using Internet Explorer and it's not allowing you to send your e-mail with an attachment, try sending it through the web browser, Mozilla Firefox (you can get this at www.getfirefox.com). If you're using Firefox and it's not allowing you to send the e-mail with an attachment, try using Internet Explorer.

If you have any further questions regarding sending an e-mail with or without an attachment, please contact the Technology Helpline at x6111.
