How to Transfer or Share Large Files
October 30, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Most email providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, MSN do not allow users to send large files by email. The maximum limit in all of these email services is 20 MB – which isn’t a lot if you want to send movies, videos, or large files. The following is a list of free ways to send large files online.
YouSendIt is a file sharing service that lets uploading and sharing files of 100 MB each. The site uses an email form to send your file. Your uploaded file is available for download for only 7 days.
Mediafire provides free file hosting/sharing for files up to 100 MB.
Google.com also provides sharing capability through the Google Docs link.
Dropbox provides 2GB of storage with its free account. You can share files with anyone, even non-Dropbox users, by creating links to the files from your Public folder. Once you copy the link, you can paste it in an email, instant message, social networks, wherever you want.

Follow these steps to configure your iPhone to receive email
>Settings
> Mail, Contacts, Calendars
>Add Account >Other
>Add Mail Account
>Name (your name)
>Email (the email address you will use to receive email)
>Password (the password associated with this email address)
>Description (choose a name to remember this account by)
>Next
>IMAP (works with email on the server)
>POP (downloads email to the phone)
(for both incoming and outgoing servers below)
>Host Name – is mail.willowtec.com
>User Name (your email address)
>Password: (the password associated with this email address)
>Next
>Cannot Connect Using SSL. Try without? – answer is Yes
(our servers require authenticated SMTP without SSL)
If you have another computer that downloads email and removes it from the server you will want to change the settings so that it will leave a copy of email on the server for 5-14 days. POP downloads email to the phone which is what most computers using Outlook or Thunderbird do by default. Leaving a copy on the server for a while gives the phone a chance to see the email before it is removed by the computer – typically 5 days is ample. IMAP works with copies of what is on the server so 14 days is typically more appropriate than a shallow 5 day view of your email.
