Import incoming files up to (MB)

If an incoming transfer includes files, Cryptshare for Outlook offers you the option to import the files to your inbox.

However, files received via Cryptshare can be very large and could exceed size limits on the mail server side when your inbox is synchronized with the server. Therefore, size limit for importing files can be set.

If the files exceed this limit, the files are not imported into the Inbox, but stored on the hard drive of your workstation. The imported message will then include not the files, but links to the files on the hard disk as well as a link to the containing directory so that they can easily be found and opened directly from the message.

Warning Threshold and Import Limit

Set the warning threshold equal to the limit for import in order to prevent a warning.
