I tend to receive pretty large attachments to my email address through Outlook Express. What is the maximum size of attachments allowed in Outlook Express? Or will the maximum size be determined by my ISP or the host I have the email address with?

The maximum size is determined by your ISP or you whichever email service you're using, i.e. , Yahoo!, Gmail, etc.
UPDATED RESPONSE:
What the **** is it with these preteen morons on this site thumbs downing what they have no clue about? Go the **** away!. The goddamn mail limit is determined by your email provider, regardless as to whether it is dial up or broadband. Many dial up providers, such as, AOL and ATT Worldnet have the same attachment size limits as broadband providers. Most attachment limits are 10MB, some are more, regardless, the limit is set by the provider. Anyone that thinks otherwise is just a complete mistake of nature.
Jewel, you got a thumbs down by me because dial up providers, for the most part, have the same attachment size limits as broadband providers. AOL, ATT and Earthlink dial up all have 10mb limits, the same a Comcast, Road Runner, ATT Broadband, etc.
What's your reasoning for thumbs downing me? (if it was you that did, methinks it was)
Mark C, Yahoo! is only 20MB if you're a Yahoo! Mail Plus subscriber at 19.99/year or you are an ATT/Yahoo! customer. Otherwise, it's 10MB.

If you have a dial up connection any thing up to 1MB is possible - the larger the file (better to keep under 600 kb) the longer it will take to send and receive - files over 1mb often take far too long to download and send.
People on broadband can send receive larger files more quickly than dial up connections - however this does not mean it will not clog the internet usage and both broadband and dial up users may experience a slower browser reaction.
Also Note - advise recipient that a large attachment is on its way as some peoples emails are set up to delete attachments as they come in as a security measure.
PS not sure why some one has given me a thumbs down!

he maximum message size any user can send through the Expedient mail servers is 10MB (or 10,000 Kb). However, it is recommended that you do not send a file larger than 1-2 MB to eliminate possible problems in sending or receiving mail attachments. If you would like to send a large attachment to someone, consider using a "Zip" application, such as Winzip to zip and compress your attachment files or break down your attachments into parts and mail them as separate, smaller email messages.

Phil, I'm also getting the problem. Have tried to rename the inbox, and also move the messages to another folder in webmail, but this didn't work. My message count also did not match the number of messages in the inbox folder. Exactly how did you manage to archive the inbox and fix it, so I can also try this? I've also got a message against each entry in the spam folder saying 'Mail could not load this message'. Since we're seeing other occurrences hopefully it's a BT problem that will be fixed soon.
