Send smaller files

Use this method when you send files that are 25MB or less. You can customize permissions and security settings on a per-email basis. For future emails, the permissions and settings return to your organization’s default settings.
  1. Open a new email and enter a recipient and attach a file or files.
    Depending on your plugin settings, the

    panel may appear at the side of the mail.
    If it does not appear, click The Protect Attachments icon to display the panel.
    The options available in the
    Set security for this email
    panel depend on your organization's
    BlackBerry Workspaces
    configuration.
