I tried to attach a photo file using 'e-mail message' option and then 'attach file' option on the insert tab. The application shows the attached file but underneath it has the words 'change to photo album'. What seems to be happening is that Skydrive is generating an 0n-line album with one photo in it. The receiver has to view the photo as a slide show. I have not set up Skydrive so I do not know why it has been triggered. I want to disable Skydrive but can't find how to do it. All I want to do is send the photo as a jpg file without Skydrive interfering as it now doing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Original title: Skydrive and windows live mail on Windows 7
After a new hard drive was installed and Windows was completely reinstalled, Windows Live Mail worked for about 1 day. Then, after some Windows Updates installed, it stopped working again.
I can't help but think that this is related to a Windows update, but, since no one else seems to be having the same issue, I am mystified.
Specific issues include:
1. Clicking on the sign in icon causes the box to pop up, but it is empty. (ie, no username and password boxes, etc.)
2. I monitor 6 email accounts. Clicking on an account in the left sidebar does not lead to that account showing up in the main panel. (Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes I get another random account instead.)
3. The dropdown arrows on the left panel do not open/close the individual email accounts so that I can see/hide the folders within each account.
4. Send/receive does work, but if I read and delete a message, it does not decrease the unread message count.
Before my hard drive installation, I uninstalled and reinstalled WLM more times than I can count.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can make this work? I really like WLM, but if I can't get it working within the next few days, I'm going to have to try something else.
external email account successfully. However when I try to configure the smtp server I get the
above error message. The server settings I am using work fine in windows live mail 2012 and
also mozilla thunderbird and previously did with outlook express and windows mail.
If I try to import the settings from live mail, the settings displayed are correct, but I still get the
same error.
Judging from the plethora of hits I find relating to this or a similar issue this has to be an
Outlook.com problem. The only solutions offered seem to be requests to try Live Mail to
see if that works with the same settings. Well it does just fine. So how can we progress to a solution ?

I've eliminated some possible causes for the bounced emails
1. I disabled ESET's protection, sender's mail during the disable still bounced back
2. My ISP has checked on their end, nothing is blocked, we're not on a blacklist
Sender says emails to me are the only ones that bounce.
Other senders have had their messages bounce back as well.
I am using Windows Live Mail, Windows 7
Where can I look for a solution?
