The only thing that matters are the pixel dimensions. If your image is, say, 3600 pixels on the long side, and you print it so that it is 12 inches on the long side, then the print will have a resolution of 300 dpi. Print the same image so that it is 3 feet on the long side, then your resolution is 100 dpi. In other words, dpi is a measure of resolution (given a print size), while pixel count is a measure of the size of the image. On to your question: when this happens to me, instead of emailing the file, I upload it to one of my web sites and tell the recipient where it is. He can then go to the URL I indicate, right-click on the image and download it to his computer.
