An Update on our Email for Life Security and Older Email Clients
14:21 on 16th Sep
We previously announced in May that we were making some changes to our Email for Life security settings and how it may affect those of you who use older email clients to access your messages. To enable users with older clients to have continued service for a period of time, we reverted the changes but noted that we would continue rolling out these required security changes later this year.
In the first week of October, we will be fully rolling out these security changes to all Email for Life services. We would urge all our Email for Life customers to update your operating systems and email clients to the latest versions to guarantee future compatibility.
As a guide, the following email client versions and later should be considered the minimum requirements:
Outlook 2003 on Windows 8.1
Outlook 2016 on OSX 10.11
MacMail on OSX 10.12
Mail on iOS 11
Mail on Android 5
Outlook 2016 on OSX 10.11
MacMail on OSX 10.12
Mail on iOS 11
Mail on Android 5
For the technical among you, if your email client supports TLS version 1.2 you should see no disruption to your service via an email client.
If you require any support on this matter or have any questions, please send a message to our Helpdesk support team via the normal support routes available through your Email for Life service.
How can we help you?What is the total maximum file size an email attachment can be?Files attached to an email on the ledesia.net service must not total more than 25MB. The main reason for this file size limit is security. Without these limits it would be possible for malicious users to bombard email servers with huge email attachments and ultimately crash the servers. Even if we were to increase the file size limit on our end, there is no way of ensuring that a recipient's server would accept a file of that size. If the file attachment size is too big, and rejected by the recipient's server, you will usually be notified with what is known as a bounce message. These exist primarily to inform users that their email has not been received, and provides a brief reason why. Should you wish to send a file to a recipient that is over 25MB in size (or has otherwise been rejected by their mail server) there are two alternatives available that would allow you to work around these limits: - Using a cloud storage or FTP link (a solution such as Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) can provide users with a link to download the file, this can then be inserted into an email. - Using file compression software (such as Winzip, or the native functionality built into most operating systems) to make the file smaller for the purposes of attachment. |
