TSGL: OE6 Will and Won't Send Attachments(its confusing)

[Ian Ramsey-Planck]

Hey,

Does anyone know what maximums OE6 has? I just did a count and he has 16,478
messages totaling 9.60GB's

I created a new identity and setup the email account without importing the
old emails and it successfully sent anything of size up to 15mb's. But as
soon as i imported everything, the problem comes right back. I think i'm
going to try talking him into getting rid of emails he doesn't need.
