Getting Started – what is LFTMail?
IOMachine LFTMail Plug-in for Microsoft Outlook allows you to send large attachments right from Outlook Email Client.
For example, if you want to send a 50MB attachment, you may not be able to send it via regular email since your email quota and your recipients’ email quota may not allow such a large attachment to pass through the email systems.
LFTMail solves this problem and enables you to send large attachments to anyone.

LFT Mail automatically detaches and compresses large attachments from your Outlook Email and inserts an encrypted hyperlink for recipients to download the file later. This process helps move email faster since large attachments are not present in email queues waiting to be processed by the mail system.

Send Files from Outlook Email
LFTMail starts up with Outlook and runs within your system tray. This service is designed to continue to process file transfers already in queue even if the Outlook client is shutdown.
When preparing to send a new email and if the attachment file is more than the specified threshold, LFTMail prompts to either allow upload of the file through the LFT server or directly as a normal email attachment by Outlook through your e-mail server. In both cases the email and attachment will be sent to the intended recipient but if the attachment is sent through LFT, it will be stripped from the memo and formatted into a hyper link for later download by the receiving end.
Click on the Yes button to send the attachment via LFTMail server.

Outlook Mail may have a system wide message transfer restriction.
If you encounter such limitations, please use the LFTMail Postcard App. See
next page for how to use the Postcard App.
Send File via Postcard App
LFTMail adds a special button in outlook. When you click on this “Send Large Files” button in Outlook it starts the Postcard App for sending as many as six files at a time.
Please note that there is no limitation on file size you can send via Postcard App. You are only limited by the Operating system you are using and amount of disk space you have in your computer.
In this Postcard App, you could set options like “Retention Time” to make sure that files are available till a certain date, and “One Time Download” which will add a restriction to the uploaded files that will only allow recipient/s to download the file once.
