I've been having a frustrating issue where I can't send emails with attachments from my Hotmail account. Whether it's a picture or a PDF, I get a message saying that the recipient's server won't accept it. Microsoft AI seems to think the files are too large, but that's not the problem since they aren't! This issue started a couple of weeks ago, and it occurs on all my devices including my iPad, desktop, and phone.

First off, how big are the files you're trying to attach? Sometimes, if they're over a certain limit, that can cause issues.
It sounds like something's going on with your account. Gmail has a send limit of around 25MB, but if nobody can receive anything from you, it might be time to consider switching providers. New accounts can be a breath of fresh air from constant spam, too! I found that adapting to new systems, like using labels instead of folders in Gmail, has surprisingly helped me stay organized.
I've actually opened a Gmail account because of this! I've been using my Hotmail for so long, switching is going to be a big adjustment.
Attachment file size doesn’t matter! Everything gets rejected. The message I get is: 'Your message wasn't delivered because the recipient's email provider rejected it.'
