Send emails as attachments

You can attach emails to other emails without downloading them first. When you attach an email, it becomes an .eml file.

How it works

When you send emails as attachments:

• You can attach as many emails as you like.
• If the file size exceeds 25 MB, it will attach through Google Drive.
• When you click on an attached email, it will open in a new window.
• A security banner will appear at the top of an attached email sent or received
