June 30th, 2009

Now you can send large attachment files in gmail upto 25MB because Google has increased the attachment size from 20MB to 25MB.

To send a message, just type a phone number into the search box at the top of the chat window on the left side of the Gmail interface, and hit ‘Send SMS’.

However you may try compressing the files into other formats such as “.zip”, “.tar”, “.tgz”, “.taz”, “.z” or “.gz”. But Gmail is smart enough to know there is an executable inside that compress file.

Now the question is how to send executable files with your Gmail account if you really need to do so? Here’s how its done.
