A client recently went to a meeting where he assumed an email he sent had arrived at his client's inbox. When he learned it did not, he became alarmed and called us.
I investigated and found the email in his outbox. I also found that it was over 4MB and the end recipient's email box would not accept it. I thought it important to highlight some key email tips in the current world of spam blocking email inbox overload:
We offer best in class email solutions for you. It’s simply the nature of email now (versus 5 years ago) that with so much spam and in turn spam software email is not as reliable as it once was. Almost 90% of email out there is spam!

* never send large files through email. Always send them as a zip file
* if you send a mission critical message, be sure to call to follow up that it has been received
