Can't send attachments with outlook.com


Recommended Posts

I'm not experiencing this issue in Google Chrome v21.0.1180.60 m, IE9, Firefox 14.0.1 or Waterfox 14.0.1.

I did however have an issue in Opera v12.01 when I was testing, where the Attach files button would bring up the file browser dialog box as normal, but when I selected a file it would not actually attach it to the email and the dialog box would simply close - I'm not sure if this is the issue you were referring to?

My desktop is running Windows 7 Enterprise x64 with SP1 FYI and was last rebuilt just over one year ago.

I haven't had any problems with this at all. I have used it over chrome, firefox and IE over my home computer/laptop and work systems.

I think it runs really well tbh, it's just a pity linked live accounts have to go back to hotmail :( contemplating just closing that account though.

Actually, they don't.

Outlook.com actually *replaces* Hotmail; even better, it (and Hotmail, for that matter) no longer require an add-in as of Outlook 2013; alternatively, you can move your Hotmail account completely to Outlook.com (right now, I have it aliased, but because of the better Outlook support, I'll likely move it altogether).

How do you do that? I havent explored this bit properly, i just assumed it was as I stated.

When I Went to receive email from another account and entered the live details it stated I needed to link them. Then once linked and I click on the linked live account from my outlook account it takes me to hotmail.com with its uglyness.

Just had a look, the only way I could see would be forwarding from the previous live accounts to the outlook one to have everything in one. Or......creating an outlook alias for each live account and forwarding the [email protected] to [email protected] then [email protected] to [email protected] if you wanted to keep the same format as the live accounts without deactivating them and have everything showing up in outlook.

I think.

I'm running Win8 RP and when I use Outlook.com in Metro IE10, I can't attach any files to my mails.

The option is there, I get to see the file picker but then nothing ever gets attached to the mail itself.

If I use Desktop IE10, there is no problem attaching any files

In addition to my previous post.... I had only tested it with an empty mailbox and everything worked perfect. I opened up my other normal live account with outlook which has a fairly large amount of mail and it was laggy and attachments didnt work which is weird.

It's still in testing though isnt it?

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
