Has Hotmail got a problem
Not one that I'm aware of ...... I have sent several attachments to my daughters hotmail account in the last couple of days and she has received them with no problems.
-
Someone told me a couple of days back that attachments were not arriving with hotmail. I haven't tried it but apparently several people were having the same problem.

I've just sent one to a fairly new Hotmail account with picture attached and it arrived OK

Just check before you send them that a bird is not sitting on the telephone wire outside.
If it is hanging on to tightly the large files can't get down the wire.
;D

If you are saying that when you send an email from an alternative email address that it arrives without a problem, then it sounds like your recipient has your usual email address blacklisted.
Either that or their respective ISP's have your email listed as a possible source of spam.

I use a hotmail address & quite often emails end up in the spam folder & I have to retrieve them. Any email with an attachment received has to be made "safe" before I can access the attachment
I think (as I learnt after losing some emails) that you can set the spam to be automatically deleted rather than placed in a separate folder, so this causes email to be lost.
Sometimes when I send to others from hotmail, they do not receive it. Some spam filters seem to automatically, or on request refuse email from web email systems

Use g-mail 8)

l don't know what to think,( have sent you a pm Celia) normally l get email with attachments no problem sometimes goes to junk mail. That why l said send just a test email and see if l get it then l can add to safe list and hope it rectifies the problem.

I use hotmail as my main e-mail address. There are occasional blips, but I'm usuually very pleased with it. Sometimes relatives send photos which don't get through ~ usually if the file is enormous.

Hi Celia,
I've been trying to send some files to a fellow rootschatter this evening - using hotmail. Took me ages to get them to attach at first. I eventually managed to send them - about an hour and a half later.
I will let you know if I get a reply later, to say that there was a problem.
Kind regards,
Paulene :)

your recipient has your usual email address blacklisted.
The recipient doesn't have my email address,the attachment has finally arrived now,thanks for all the suggestions.
Just one question ;) why do people find it necessary to have 2 email addresses,why don't they use the email given to them by their provider? when they send/receive photo attachments It would make life a lot easier ;D ;D
