Before you can create a multimedia message or write
an e-mail, you must have the correct connection
settings in place.
The wireless network may limit the size of MMS
messages. If the inserted picture exceeds this limit the
device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by
MMS.
Check the size limit of e-mail messages with your
service provider. If you attempt to send an e-mail
message that exceeds the size limit of the e-mail
server, the message is left in the Outbox folder, and the
device attempts to resend it periodically. Sending an e-
mail requires a data connection, and continuous
