Hi,

While attempting to compress and email some photos I have seen some bizarre behaviour from WLM2011.

If I select a few pix and elect to send them to an email recipient, instead of simply asking if I want them made smaller, WLM2011 tries to invoke the use of Skydrive and then wants me to log on to a Hotmail account.

Now every time I open WLM2011 it also opens the Hotmail login popup.

Surely there is an easier way to compress a few pictures so I can email them?

I have used the Zip function which works quite simply, is this the answer, please?

Rob.

Zipping is what I use from Windows Explorer.

Otherwise, while in WLM, you can attach or insert pics.

Re: Windows Live Mail 2011

Thanks jcgriff2,

Lots of good ideas there.

It's a pity when such a simple thing becomes so complicated. True, you can add a pic to am e-mail, no problems. But unless it is compressed (especially if thete are a few) the download will take forever.

Any suggestions how I can stop the Hotmail og in from popping up when I launch WLM2011?

AAHH, found it.

In WLM2011 under Options|mail|connection| click 'stop signing in'.

I'll mark this one solved.

Hi Rob. . .

I'm not familiar with the hotmail pop-up that you describe. Can you please take a screenshot of it?

I use WLM 2011 and have never had the hotmail pop-up issue.

One other idea --- log on to your Live account via Hotmail, then log out.

Hotmail Sign In

I had no problem either 'till I started messing about with 'Skydrive' et al, courtesy of the changes in WLM2011.
Still, fixed now.

Thanks.

Hi,

Could be either.

You should really create your own thread and describe your problem in detail. That way more folks will see it and offer help. Your post is buried here in this thread.

Hi John,

A bit more info.

I should have known this, my photo handling software (Ashampoo Photocommander) has a feature where you click Edit|e-mail and it allows you to select all the pix you want from your files then compresses them into a PDF and attaches them to an e-mail.

Very neat.

Rob.
