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.

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.

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
