Hi. I do not see any discussions on this topic other than Archived discussions so I cannot reply to them (and they were unsolved).
I have noticed for awhile now that the iPhone really stinks at emailing videos...the video clips must be under 60 seconds and typically the largest file I've been able to send is 7MB.
Since Yahoo and Google (both loved by Apple especially in the Email design of iOS) both have 25MB email limits, why are we being denied to send files larger than 7MB/60 seconds?! These 25MB limits have been in place for quite some time now. I understand that some non-web-mail providers only have 10MB or 15MB limits, but 7MB limitation is the dark ages! Surely Apple could whip up some code to allow sending larger files to email accounts. Here is a comparison of webmail providers:

Am I overlooking some setting somewhere? Or should I jailbreak my phone/touch? I cannot copy the file to my computer and then email it as the file size is 10x larger than what Apple compresses it to. Sure, I could buy my own software and compress it, but that's a big workaround for a $400 iPhone and $300 Touch.
It's extremely frustrating to take a 1-2 minute video clip of your child playing and then cannot send it via email.
Ah...Apple doesn't have anything to do with the email attachment limit, such is solely determined by your carrier if using their network or your ISP if using WiFi.

You are incorrect. The email APPLICATION chooses how large of an attachment it will allow you "SEND" and then passes that information to the mail servers which in turn can accept or reject the attempted "send". Lastly, the destination mail servers may accept or reject the email. So it's basically a 3 tiered process...the application, the sender's mail system, the addressee's mail system.
