I have a large .mdb file attached to an email which I can only access on my phone, as it's being blocked by webmail on my home computer. I need to get it to my computer but when I try to forward the email the attachment is removed. I can't download it to my phone because it's too large. I've tried uploading it to Google Drive via my phone but it takes too long and times out.
Any ideas?
I have found the solution!
I set up a second email account on my server with an obscure name, then, I changed the POP/IMAP settings to use that account for receiving, and left the send/SMTP details unchanged.
This now gives me the desired behaviour. It also gives me a receive only account ( which could also be desirable ).
If you are on iOS4 or below, you can also refer to Hand-E-Food's answer. My instructions will work for iOS5 ( due to the extra checks iOS5 makes to verify what you've entered )
If I'm reading the initial question correctly, you wish to select which account new mail comes from.
In Mail prefs > Accounts > Account Information tab you can enter multiple email addresses in the Email Address field. You must separate them by commas.
When you create a new message The From dropdown will list every email address. These addresses will be used in the From: field.

I agree with patrix, use open in dropbox from the mail.
Or, to file handling app like FileBrowser and then rename the extension to .txt and mail it to your web email.
Dropbox seems far easier.
