How can I send a big file with attachments with yahoo email?

Trying to send attachments in Yahoo mail & getting back an error message: Invalid file specified?

  • invalid file specified. Please try again. I have tried to reinstall yahoo but to no avail. Have to use another email program to send attachments. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem. Yahoo is my main mail and I would prefer to stay with it.

  • Answer:

    there could be several reasons for this. if you are trying to send a file with an .exe .scr .com or another executable extension yahoo mail will not let you send it. the best way to aviod this problem is rename the file from for example program.exe to program.rename and attach it. ask the reciever to rename it back to exe. you could also zip the file but it may cause problems when the reciever recieves it because some email systems do not support zip extensions and/or parse zip files for 'enclosed' executable extensions. if this is the case your reciepient will probably not recieve the file.

Try going to my documents, if you have your attachment save under a floppy, right click and it will tell you "Email with yahoo" send it. It will tell you browse, browse to the document you want to send. Hope that helps

LIKELY... you dont select attachments file probably (from specific location)or the formats not in term of acception size(jpeg,jpg..etc),try to store any image (jpeg or any) in any locations or in diskett then try to include it into your attachment and sends
