This article was previously published under Q91647



SYMPTOMS
If you enter 32,760 characters in a message in Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0, the following error is generated:

There is not enough memory or system resources to complete this action. Try closing some windows and performing the action again.



CAUSE
Microsoft Mail messages are limited to 32,720 characters because edit fields in the Windows environment are limited to a maximum of 32,760 characters.

This error message is not correct; the error is independent of the amount of memory. Even if you close every window in the system and have 70 percent available resources, this error will still be generated.



RESOLUTION
Limit your mail messages in the Windows environment to a maximum of 32,760 characters. You can send larger messages by putting the additional information in a separate file and then attaching that file to your mail message.
