Hi,
In Exchange 2003, we have 4 level of size limit:
Global Setting
Connector Setting
SMTP virtual server setting
Per user mailbox setting
By default the size limit in Connector Settings and SMTP virtual server settings are not set, so we will focus on Global Setting and Per User Mailbox Settings.
When the users are using Outlook to send and receive email, the size limit in User Mailbox Setting will override the Global Settings. So, if you use Outlook, that can be easily fulfilled by modifying the specific user mail settings:
1. Start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, and then locate the user account that you want to configure.
2. Right-click the user's account, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Exchange General tab, and then click Delivery Restrictions to set the maximum size that you want to permit.
Note:
When this user is using OWA, the above user mailbox settings will not take effect, which means the mail size is still limited by the Global Settings.
For more information, please refer to:

HiWhen Ms Outlook is configured as POP or IMAP client it doesn't work and gives error message but Outlook Express works fine. Following is the error messageTask <server name> - Sending report error (0x800CCC0D). Unable to find the e-mail server. Please verify the server information in your account properties.Thanks
