    Hello,

    This can be the result of either of these two problems. First, since you are trying to send pictures to a school, sometimes the school has restrictions so images can't be sent easily. However, if you are getting the error message before you try sending it, then this is because Image files can be among the largest files anyone has. Depending on your connection speed, the file may simply be too large for the server to take on. This also might occur if your email server has restrictions as to the size of the files you can attach to each email. Try sending them one per email. Otherwise, (if you know how) try to reduce the size of the pictures. This can sometimes be done by saving it as an alternate file type. Hope this helps!

    Picture file is to big probably. Most email has a max in MB you can send. You may have to resize it. Google it there are plenty of free apps. paint.net comes to mind...
