incoming file size

is there a file size limit with windows mail? i have been sent files and they
do not make it through to my email account with windows mail, but they are
viewable at the yahoo server? is there a place where i can change the size of
the files to be allowed to be received?

There's no limit in WM that I know of.. perhaps Yahoo has a limit on their
POP server.

I've seen no sign of one in Windows Mail, but your email provider is
likely to have both incoming and outgoing size limits you are unlikely
to be able to change.

yahoo's server allows messages to be received and sent up to 20mb. isn't that
big enough?
