I'm using Windows Live Mail 2012 on a Windows 8 system. When I email photos to a recipient, WLM creates a SkyDrive album (i.e., a SkyDrive folder) which contains the photos being sent, as well as an email message with a link to that SkyDrive folder. As part of the link in the email, WLM includes a statement that reads similar to the following example:
=====
"This album has 2 photos and will be available on
SkyDrive until 12/13/2013."
=====
I noticed another user on this forum ("boatcristan2") posting a question similar to mine. He received a reply from Moderator "Levi_I." which read, in part, as follows:
=====
"There is no longer an expiration period for uploaded files via the web SkyDrive, the SkyDrive desktop app or from your moble device will never be deleted. There are only two cases where a file will expire or be available in a limited fashion:
A. If you're using Live Mail client, photo mail feature files transferred here will expire in 90 days unless the owner of the pictures goes to the web SkyDrive and extends the expiration. Here are the steps to do this:
1. Login in to your web SkyDrive then open the uploaded folder.
2. You will notice the yellow banner found on top showing the expiration date.
3. Click Change clean up settings.
4. Choose you preferred expiration settings then click Save."
=====
I tried to follow these instructions; but, unfortunately, when I login to SkyDrive and open the uploaded folder, there is no yellow banner showing at the top of the folder, and there is no indication of any expiration date. There is also no button or option available to "Change clean up settings".
So, I have two questions:
1. If there's no yellow banner, does that mean that the SkyDrive folder has no expiration date (despite what WLM says)?
2. If there really is an expiration date, then how do I change it (since there's no button labeled "Change clean up settings"?
