Since Hotmail.com has become Outlook.com

I thought I had no more problems sending my attachments to my work secretary.  For the first month of work in September had not problems sending my saved EXCEL to our secretary.  Now for the almost whole month of October, I can not send any type of attachment.  As soon as hit the insert button from the saved open file, the internet disconnects.  This is very frustrating.  Can anyone help? 

 

Thank you,

Since yesterday I have found that if I try to send an email with an attachment it automatically sends the email 43 times and the recipients receive all 43 attempts but not the attachments? Anyone any ideas, I've got Norton Antivirus and it can't find anything.

Help...................:)

 

I'm using Windows live mail for a hotmail account with Windows 7.

For some reason, no emails with attachments are showing up in Windows live Mail desktop program.

If I go to Outlook.com, the emails are there.

It only occurs with emails with attachments small or large.

 

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Viewing attachment in contacts from Outlook web online, but when try to view from phone(samsung Galaxy) there is no attachment in the same contact. Is that possible or how can that be changed so attachments are also viewed thru phone? Thank you!

I recently signed up for outlook.com email. I've had problems sending mail (account is temporarily blocked) and attempts to verify the account fail. I'm blocked from forwarding an email because the account isn't "verified" but attempts to verify fail. Now I find that emails with attachments are not reliably getting through to me. Two emails that displayed on my iPhone that had attachments were never visible in either the web client or Apple Mail or the Outlook desktop client. Then they mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone, Outlook and the web client. On the web client, they're not in junk, deleted items or anywhere else. Later they mysteriously again re-appeared in the trash. I moved them back to my inbox and a few minutes later... Back in the trash. Either way, when I click on the message, the attachment doesn't show anywhere where I can download them. Both are extremely important, both are purchase orders from my customers. When I moved them back to the inbox and they showed up momentarily on my iPhone and Outlook, the attachments have a file size of 0 KB! I know Microsoft is trying to protect me from spam, but this is just amazingly absurd.

Getting technical support has been a nightmare. I post a question only to be answered 24 hours later. Except that I never get an answer to my questions! I have to post a reply which takes another 24 hours for yet another irrelevant reply! Example: When I try to validate my account, I get a message that a code could not be sent. Reply: try and validate your account by providing a telephone number. And so it goes.

I set up outlook.com as a test prior to signing up the entire company on an Office365 hosting plan. But this experience has been so fraught with frustration that I can't possibly recommend Microsoft to my company for email hosting.
I bought a surface 2 yesterday and am unable to open excel attachments from outlook. I can open both Word and Power point attachments. When I click on the excel attachment from the outlook email, excel opens up and then gives the message "Excel cannot access (file name). The document may be ready-only or encrypted." I click OK and another message pops up: "(file name) cannot be accessed. The file may be corrupt, located on a server that is not responding, or read-only." I tried modifying the options from the Trust Center in Excel options but this did not help. I also tried saving the attachment to my documents, but get the same error message when I try to open it.  I can open the same exact attachment from my Gmail account and it opens successfully, so it must be something wrong with the Outlook-Excel interface. Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

When replying to or forwarding an email with attachments this is the response I get:

 

You can only have 5 attachments. Please remove some files and try again.

 

This happens when just replying and also forwarding an email with attachments, never had this problem before. 

 

I've read a few post on here saying the same and they have had their accounts changed to allow the sending of more than five attachments. Could mine be changed please?

I can received e-mails with embedded multiple attachments within the e-mail itself, but cannot forward the same e-mail to to others. This happens both on my home computer and work computer when I access my hotmail account. I get the following error message:
 You can only have 10 attachments. Please remove some files and try again.

It doesn't seem to matter if i delete ALL of the attachments i still cannot forward the e-mail with or without the attachments within the-mail.  Also I sometimes receive e-mails with just a blank picture box where the picture of the embedded attachment is. It contains all the sentences from the e-mail but no pictures?? I have seen multiple others with this same question.  I cannot find my original questions when I replied to someone else's same question. it seems the forum moderator is the only one that can correct this problem. Please let me know how and please correct the problem for me also. I already deleted my cache files.  And Silvergate is enabled. These are the previous things that I read, but haven't helped.

 

Please respond to my e-mail since I can never seem to find my way back to my quesion that I have posted. Thanks
