Because a file is quite large or because some servers limit the size of incoming e-mails to a very low value, sometimes you just can’t e-mail a file to someone. In other cases, the recipient’s mailbox is almost full and won’t accept a large file…
Instead of sending the Document in the e-mail itself, you can [...]

Not easy to find a date when more than two people are involved! The meeting poll feature (aka “meeting maker”) allows you to gather participants votes on a selection of dates and times. It is much easier to find a schedule that is convenient for all or most participants.
