Hotmail Outlook Error: You can only have 5 attachments. Please remove some files and try again.

11. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
Hi,

Please help. I have been unable to reply to emails from my SCHOOL AND WORKPLACE because of this! This has severely hindered me in my daily correspondence! I have tried to literally copy & paste the body content to Notepad to remove all formatting, and copy paste it back to hotmail to reply and the annoying error message still shows: "You can only have 5 attachments. Please remove some files and try again."

If this keeps up, I am forced to give up on hotmail completely and rant to all my fb & forum friends about the poor quality of service & functionality that hotmail is providing. I have never encountered so much problems (eg. lags up to 53secs to open ONE email at any point of time on a 1gbps internet connection) until hotmail decided to switch to Outlook. Everyone has been persuading me to stay away and switch to Gmail but I am staying on for the fact that I've used hotmail most of my life (I do have an existing gmail account as well).

Additionally, I have been having trouble accessing my old email addresses because they were hacked which forced me into creating a new email address. The questionnaire used to retrieve my old email address was not relevant any more because I have no idea what the hacker has sent out using my email, what passwords s/he has changed it to, etc and I created the account when I was barely 10 yrs of age!

Anyway, the latter is not of much importance as compared to the titled subject matter. Please resolve this!

Email attachments are not accessible a few days after receiving the email

08. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

Using Live Mail, attachments to emails sent over a couple of weeks ago are no longer available to open even though there was no problem opening them when the email first arrived.

 All I am seeing is the  rotating circle of dots as if the program is trying to search for the attachment

Outlook.com attachments dissapear

If someone sends me an email with an attachment I can open and read the attachment. However, if I respond to that email (click "reply", then send an email back to the original email sender), the original attachment disappears. It's not that I can't open the attachment, it's just gone completely. No paperclip sign, no attachment at all - just gone. It is REALLY frustrating. Is there any settings I can change or anything I can do to make sure my attachments STAY in my inbox even if I reply to a message? I think the problem is that Outlook puts the messages together like a string of emails, and any emails that aren't the most recent lose their attachments. Can I make my messages stay separate and not turn into a string of emails? With my Outlook email at work I don't have this problem, only with my private Outlook.com email. 

Cannot open attachment in emails.

I have an msn.com email account.

I was switched to ie10 and Outlook several months ago. At first there were no problems with opening any attachments to emails sent to me.

But, a few weeks ago any attachments have an x box at the top of the attachments and I cannot open the photo or article.

For some emails if I forward the message to a Comcast email account the attachment will open, but for others it will still not open.

I have the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight and it is enabled.

This problem occurs whether I access my MSN mail through my desktop, laptop or iPad computers.

I am using Windows 7 on my desktop and laptop.

This has all become very frustrating and I'm about ready to change my main email account away from Microsoft.

I am at the point that I will never purchase a Microsoft product again.

 

Attachments and Emoticons

When composing an outlook.com email from the safari browser running in "private" mode on a mac ... 2 functions don't work.

  1. Insert Emoticons - the list of emoticons doesn't display.
  2. Attachments - when you insert -> files as attachments you get the message "We're still getting set up. Please try again"
These 2 functions work when not running Safari in "private" mode

can’t download any attachments

Like other users who have posted here, I have not been able to download attachments for the past several days.   The attachments I have been trying to download are small -- typically Word documents of just a few pages.  Sometimes I receive error messages, sometimes I am able to see the attachment in an online document reader (but still cannot download it), and sometimes nothing happens at all.   I get the same result regardless of whether I use Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome.  It also happens on different computers with different operating systems.  The only way I have been able to download attachments is by forwarding messages to a gmail account, which allows me to download the attachments without any difficulty.

 

Needless to say, I need to be able to download messages from *this* account.  Please help!
