Capacity limited to Windows Mail?

What is the capacity-to-byte limit or number of emails from mail from the window? What happens when the limit is reached?

Windows Mail, or any e-mail program limits, other than the limits of local storage.  These days, the storage limits are determined by the size of your hard drive.  Outlook used to have a limit of storage on the order of 1.6 Gb. This has been increased to 20 GB.  Windows Mail stores email in the discreet form. The files of EML, so its limited by the size of your hard drive.

  • Send Audio files in Windows Mail

    I could not send an audio file to WAV (62.8 MB), MP3 format (5.7). Am I limited in Windows Mail? Is there a way to get around this?

    You are not limited in WinMail, but you are by your server. 62.8 MB is enormous not to mention sending it's code. That triggers the size by a third, and now it's a 83.7 MB file. A common limit is 25 MB, and many Internet service providers have a smaller limit.

    Download the file on a site like Photobucket or SkyDrive and just email a link to it.

  • Why my Windows Mail is unable to receive large attachments?

    Hi all

    I recently started reading manuscripts of book to a literary agents, which means I get large Word documents and attachments. But some of them are not having transmitted my webmail (I have a btinternet email address).

    What happens here? I guess it must be because the attachments are too big?

    What can I do to help my Windows Mail with large attachments? I need to receive my work!

    Thank you very much in advance for any advice.

    Miriam (TeaAndChoc)

    Windows Mail has no limit, no limit's service provider that manages your email routing.  In this case, the BT Internet company is the cause of the block.

    You can ask them if they can allow attachments more bulky (I doubt they will), or you can use another service which has larger limits, like Microsoft Outlook.com E-mail or Google Gmail.

    To my limited knowledge...
    Windows Mail is a Mapi Simple client.
    MS Outlook is a full Mapi client.
    In short, WM cannot do the job. You need Outlook. That's the extent of my 'know-how '.
    Talk to your "so-called" PMB support people. Ask a higher level tech to talk to you.

    PS just a question: I don't know anything about PMB. What is in PMB Launcher that Vista cannot match?

  • I get the empty error message when clicking on "send & receive in Windows Mail.

    Original title: I receive a blank error message when you click "Send & Recieve" in Windows Mail.

    I recently asked a question in the Microsoft answer that I could access Internet Forum is no longer my favorites to Internet Explorer 8 (although they were always on display in the folder My Favorites in my user account folder.)  Several fixes to this problem have been proposed, but the one that worked was when it was suggested that I might have a corrupted user account.  I was directed to Microsoft link "How to fix a corrupted user profile." I followed the instructions and created a new user account and copied the files to the new account. Was done to correct the problem, and now I can access all my favorites still in IE8 in the new user account.

    However. I am now no longer able to send or receive messages in Windows Mail. When I click on "Send & receive" I get the box that says "some errors occurred while processing tasks requested. Please see the list of errors below for more details. "However, the box below which is supposed to list the errors is completely empty. I contacted my ISP (Virgin Media) provider, who did various diagnostic tests. They told me that this isn't a problem with their security, and they checked my account settings to make sure that everything is correct. They seem to think that this could be a problem with my registry. They sent several messages test (arriving in my web Virgin Media mail box), but for some reason are not getting downloaded in my Windows Mail. On a few occasions did pass the test messages (but only after I closed Windows mail and then reopened.) However, Windows Mail has stopped working again.

    Just once, I got details of an error that has been ' ERR protocol error. Port 110, secure (SSL): 0X800CC90. 0x800ccc18 error number. "However, it was the only time. All other times, the error box is completely blank.

    I would be very grateful if someone could help me solve this problem.  I'm very IT limited knowledge.

    Cody

    I looked in the links provided by Karena & Bruce, but they did not provide a solution to my particular problem.   I must say that I have noticed some improvements to Windows Mail but the button "Send & receive" still does not work properly. I can now send and receive messages.  If there is no message on my e-mail server of the Virgin, access automatically when I open Windows Mail. However, if a new message is sent to me and as I click on "Send & receive" Windows Mail is already open on my computer, I always get the empty error message. The only way I can access the message is to close Windows Mail and re - open once again, when the new message is downloaded automatically. I found a link that says this error could be due to a duplicate news account.  I found that I had two ms.news accounts in my Windows Mail account and remove one of them.  However, this has not resolved the problem, and I'm still only able to receive new messages by the opening and closing of Windows Mail.

    Does anyone have any other suggestions?

  • Can not get e-mail using Windows Mail and via Webmail

    Hello!

    I have a Windows Vista Home Premium OEM and I use windows mail to receive my emails. I went to my email and to my computer manufacturer supplier, but they were not able to determine my problem. I received an error code and message, but I failed to take note of it. I was also informed by my email provider to download 'FLASH', but they specify not what flash is.

    Help, please!

    If the messages do not appear on your Webmail, they will appear in WinMail because that is where they are downloaded from. Your problem is with your Webmail account.

    Are there messages there now? Maybe the Webmail Inbox it reached limits and is now bouncing messages? In tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - is: leave a copy of messages on the server check? If so, uncheck the box.

  • Windows Mail (Windows 7) blind sending send copies

    In Windows Mail (Windows 7), how can I send a copy of an email to anyone? How can I email blind copies of e-mails to members of a contact group?

    You use Windows Live Mail in Win7 or you hack into Windows Mail (Vista) in there?

    This is for Outlook Express cutter works with all three e-mail clients although some terms may differ. (e.g. vs. Address Book Contacts list).

    To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send both a. 25 is common, but it varies).

    Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.

    You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.

    *********************

    You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.

    To create a group of contacts:

    You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

    1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
    2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
    3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
    a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
    (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
    to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
    (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
    4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

    Note

    a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
     
    b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

    If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

    Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

  • Windows Mail-> Thunderbird. Online help does not program. How to import?

    I'm trying to take the Thunderbird (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-thunderbird#w_switching-from-windows-mail-or-windows-live-mail-to-thunderbird) online for converting Windows Mail to Thunderbird (no Live Mail). I'm at the stage of import. The instructions say:

    "In Thunderbird, go to tools | ImportExport | Import all messages from a directory. Also to its subdirectories. »

    Under Tools, there is import, but no footage. When the import option is selected, it does not allow a directory location, only what to import (Eveything, Mail, Contacts, etc.). When choose "Import all" and pressing 'Next' nothing is on the list to import. The button 'Next' does nothing and the Cancel button cancels the entire import.

    Can you explain (or point to an article accurate and up-to-date on) how to import all messages (including local mailboxes and the structures of files kept intact).

    Thank you.

    In the first paragraph of the section "Import Windows Mail Messages", it says you need to download and install the ImportExportTools add-on - we. Once installed, the relevant menu options will appear in TB.

  • import from windows mail emails from a broken vista pc

    My 32 bit Vista computer died - power, card mother etc. I have Acronis Disk full backups on a daily and external drive Acronis cloud of my files 'user '. What I don't have is a Windows Mail systems working group to export my old emails. When I run Thunderbird, are there emails in any way I can get these old backup, even if it means going from one place to another to get them.
    As a temporary measure, I am now on a Windows 7 64-bit system.
    If someone can help, but needs more information, let me know.
    Thank you.

    If your drag / drop off the mail will find themselves in some folder you \drop in.

    A better solution would be to use the add-on from the import export tools if you have several nested folders as it will import a folder and the subfolders. The add-on will recreate your folder structure. It you choose to import the messages in a folder and its subfolders.
