Change the maximum file size for attachments that users can receive
The BlackBerry® Attachment Service uses memory during the attachment conversion process. If users try to open large or complex
attachments (for example, .pdf files and ASCII text files that are larger than 2 MB) or multiple attachments at the same time, you
might want to limit the file size for attachments.

On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Attachment Service, on the taskbar, click Start > Programs > BlackBerry
Enterprise Server > BlackBerry Server Configuration.
2.
On the Attachment Server tab, in the Configuration Option drop-down list, click Attachment Server.
