Gmail Attachment Size Upped To 25MB
1:00AM Kevin Purdy | Apparently the attachment size limit we casually mentioned last week was actually a new upgrade. All Gmail users should see a bump from 20MB to 25MB limits in their accounts, according to the Google Operating System blog. As Alex notes there, Gmail’s convenient-but-crash-prone Flash uploading tool may make it very hard to actually get a 25MB file up and going, so clicking to use the older tool that uploads upon hitting “Send” is probably the way to go for gigundo-sized files.

OutlookAttachView Lets You Save All File Attachments
2:00AM Lifehacker US Edition | Windows only: Email attachment searching utility OutlookAttachView has a killer feature: You can export or delete multiple attachments at once—so you can finally get your files out of your inbox. Using the utility is extremely simple—just launch the executable and it will search through your Outlook profile for every attachment, though it might take a while if you have a large amount of mail. The Options -> Show Inline Attachments checkbox is probably a good idea if you get a lot of embedded pictures through email, as they aren’t stored as regular attachments in Outlook. Once you’ve selected the attachments you want to handle, use the File menu to copy the attachments to a folder, and then you can even delete the attachments in bulk to save a ton of space in your mailbox. OutlookAttachView is a free, portable download from the always useful folks at Nirsoft, the same people that let you recover lost Outlook passwords, manage your Outlook auto-complete entries, and even edit your Explorer right-click menu.

Multi-Select, Upload Progress Added To Gmail Attachments
10:30PM Kevin Purdy | No more triple-clicking for every file you want to send over Gmail. Clicking “Browse” now lets you select multiple files at once to attach to a message, and tiny progress bars are displayed while each file uploads sequentially. Nice improvement over all that clicking, and fewer guesses as to whether “Still working …” means progress or eminent browser crash. [Official Gmail Blog] More »

Offline Gmail 0.2 Specifies Max Size For Offline Attachments
7:30AM Adam Pash | Gmail Labs’ new Offline Gmail feature now allows users to specify a maximum attachment size that should be downloaded for offline access. Your options range from 10KB to 5MB in size. Alternately, you can choose not to download any attachments if you want to save on disk space or all attachments if you’ve got plenty of space. (Keep in mind that the maximum attachment size in Gmail is currently 20MB.) We’re not seeing the 0.2 options in our Gmail accounts yet, which means this is likely one of Google’s slow rollouts. Still, Google Operating System suggests that disabling offline access and then re-enabling it may do the trick, so if you’re really eager, you might want to give it a try.
