Anyone know how to make hotmail accept a large zipfile?

[turquoise]

A friend of mine has sent me a large zipfile containing several multipixel photos, huge apparently. It's showing up as sent from her end (sent last night) but nowhere in my inbox, junk box etc, hasn't bounced back.

Are there any settings I can change to make it take it? There's loads of room in my inbox, even for a whopper!
TIA

Some email accounts don't accept giant files, no matter how much room is left.

The best way for her to share pictures with you is to use one of the photo sharing sites (google have one, or there's photobox I think?). The next best would be to send it to a better email system, like gmail.

Right, hotmail won't accept attachments over 1MB if you have a free account. Gmail goes up to 20MB.

OOOh, only just seen this! Thanks NQC.
