Hello,

Previously I was able to attach files to a gmail message. Now I get an error message immediately that states it is unable to attach the file. I am using a recent version of Firefox. Please help!

Hai Sonja. I have been having the same problem since the 31st of March 2009. I don't know why I cannot attach any files that are under 20MB. It used to work perfectly fine and I loved using gmail but now...I just don't know what's happening. I get the message "Unable to attach file" and I have done everything they asked me in the HELP column but absolutely nothing has helped.

I am also having problem writing my e-mail. I just can't seem to scroll down after a few paragraphs and when I do scroll down to write more, it keeps going back up to the last paragraph I had written. Gmail's gone CRAZY.

I suggest you use other e-mail providers. Too bad they aren't as generous as gmail for the 20MB space but at least you can attach your files and send them. We just have to wait for the Gmail people concerned to fix this problem FAST!

Regards
Shama

If you're seeing error messages while uploading attachments, make sure you have Flash installed. Visit http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to check for updates and download the latest version.

In addition, please make sure that Flash is not being blocked on your computer. If your computer's default browser is Internet Explorer, make sure that it's not in "offline mode."

Please note that this feature is not supported on Linux.

If you're using Flash 10, try these troubleshooting steps (note that you may not need to do all of the things listed below to fix the problem):

* Switch your attachment settings from 'Advanced attachment features' to 'Basic attachment features' (click Settings and select the General tab to change this setting). Save your changes and try to upload your attachment again.
* Try another browser.
* Disable your proxy.
* If you continue to have trouble after following these suggestions, report it here.
