'Save attachments' feature in Windows Mail no longer works

When I display all the messages in my Inbox Windows Mail with an attachment, as the 'Save attachments' feature in Windows Mail is "grayed out" on the FILE menu drop-down (both when you view messages in the preview pane, and when the message is opened).  The attachment trombone appears in the folder list, but I can see is the trombone of attachment in the preview pane to open the attachment.  If I open the message, I can see and open the attachment and save it then its native application (Word, Excel, Adobe, etc.). Used in order to save attachments without opening, but this feature is now disabled.  To using Vista Home Premium (v6.0.6002 sp2), Norton 360 (latest version 5.1) and just updated to IE9. Tools/Options/Security of attachments checkbox is not checked. Need help.

  • Windows Mail no longer works and I get a pop up window telling me that it has stopped working.

    My Windows mail no longer works... it opens and then tells me that it has stopped working... it is highlighted on the Inbox. I have Panda Security but the scan of mail turned off. All started having this problem. Running Vista Home
    Thank you Jacquie

    original title: Windows Mail has stopped working

    There are extreme measures you can take.  One is either movement store the content of the message to another directory and WinMail starts it will be a clean message store (or you can simply rename the directory from the old Windows Mail message store and then create a new directory named Windows Mail which will begin to empty).  The other is to back up the registry key to Winmail (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm) and then remove it and then start WinMail and who must rebuild the registry key.  The first allows to compensate for a corrupt message store (you can use the file |) Import | Messages into the plu message store you renamed) and the second allows to compensate for a corrupted under the WinMail key registry hive.  I suspect the first manoeuvre will fix the problem, but I don't know.

    But those who are basically last stations.  I would like to save things before you do anything that anyone else.

    This type of error is usually caused by interference from a non compatible anti-virus program. What antivirus do you use? At a minimum, email, scanning in the antivirus must be disabled, but maybe it's not enough to eliminate all the bad effects. In the worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

    If disable your antivirus e-mail analysis feature does not solve your problem, consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less sensitive to the suffering of the ill effects of too intrusive antivirus programs: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

    E-mail analysis in any antivirus must be disabled, for the reasons explained here:

  • Mail no longer works correctly

    Hello, my e-mail no longer works correctly. [Air MacBook OS X El Capitan 10.11.5]

    It would not accept my password of account for a reason, so I removed my server provider and then he added through accounts.

    It worked, but mail is now different, and every time I open it, it will re - download about 1300 messages from this account.

    Does anyone know of a way to get it to work as it allows?  Thank you.

  • Desktop SMS and Windows Mail are not working together

    Hello

    thought I'd post here here as having a few issues with my Windows Mail but my desktop computer suffers the same problems and on a Vista forum where I posted my problem a few very useful told me who to try to solve the problems.

    One of them suddenly realized I had said my laptop is a Toshiba, and apparently the Desktop SMS and Windows Mail are not working together so that the person suggested unless I use it to uninstall apparently amongst the technically trained its known that these two programs do not like each other and explain why my office is not the problem but the laptop don't.

    After you have reset the Touch of Windows Mail (tutorial on a site http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/ vista) wood don't be put off by vistax64 as site 32 and 64 and followed great reset Windows Mail from Brink (do not restore all mail) then uninstalled Desktop SMS and touch of the drink no more mail questions that gave me problems almost every day with marking than reading/sending project messages.

    So had to click forward then remove those bits and complete the email to send and touch wood since doing these two things as soon as send an email to the box shipment or project to obtain the number of emails in parentheses, whereas before it wouldn't happen unless I closed the program and then reopened.

    Hoping that these solutions have solved my problem and wanted to share it with someone else who wants to read this thread and you recommend Vista 64 because they are all very useful there and speak in non-technical terms for those of us not technically trained.

  • Cannot open or save an attachment in Windows Mail

    Hello

    I can't open or save attachments in Windows Mail. I can see the attachment and highlight it. However, double clicking on it does nothing. Make a click right attachment makes appear an option "save under", but when I try to save it, I get an error message saying, "the command cannot be run."

    I've never had a problem with Window Mail until yesterday. The problem started immediately after agreeing to compact the database of e-mail in Windows Mail. My Outlook in Office 2007 still works fine.

    Now, I've read a few interesting comments on the Web about this issue. The tips are given is a variety of different bugs 'proposed '. To some I've seen:

    1. checking / unchecking option boxes withinin Windows Mail Security (does nothing).

    2. turn off your A / V by sending an e-mail to scanning or uninstalling your antivirus total program (at the same time - nothing has changed).

    3 window mail accounts are corrupt due to antivirus updates installed (I have not deleted my accounts yet, but he can try it tonight).

    4 Microsoft don't support Windows Mail, so install Window Live Mail! (this suggestion from a Microsoft representative real - I think it's very disturbing, because I paid for Windows Mail, which is part of Vista).

    OS - Vista Home Premium (latest drivers and updates)

    Anyway, if anyone has any info on this issue, any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hi all

    As I was listing the foregoing, it dawned on me that it was perhaps related to the security settings for the "Internet" zone

    So, I opened IE (8), tools, Internet Options, Security tab.  There, I saw something that I had not seen before, a checkbox titled enable Protected Mode; and it has been verified.

    I've disabled and pressed to apply.  He tells me that my computer is in danger, and I agreed to that.

    The drag-and-drop attachment problem is now fixed.

    I checked IE7, and it doesn't have such a box.  Thus, the check box has been added with IE8, and its default value is checked.

    I hope this is the last time that I visit this thread; But if it gets handed over by magic, I guess that I'll be back.

  • Windows Mail no longer appears "some pictures have been blocked" in the preview pane

    When I open Windows Mail on Windows Vista and open at the bottom preview pane, it no longer displays «a few pictures have been block...» »

    I have to completely open the email and the message appears and I can click on "click here to download the images.

    I used to get this message in the preview pane view, what happened? The only thing I've done recently is update Internet 9.

    It also seems that delete the history of the internet is not entirely works on output these days. Weird.

    I just tested and if you open the message in its own window then returns the information bar.  So, it is the best workaround if you continue to keep installed IE9.

  • Cannot read .pps (powerpoint) attachments of my Windows Mail.

    I can't open my Windows Mail program PowerPoint presentations.  It will work only after that I have save to another folder and read it from there.  Why they will not open directly from the Windows Mail program?  And Yes, my default program for .pps is the PowerPoint.exe file.

    Thank you, Bruce.  I just found this link on this same post, I did in January.  I had forgotten about it.  The problem is my neighbors computer, not mine.  It just reminded me of the problem again.  I use Thunderbird, so I couldn't T/S on my computer.  Thanks again.

  • Shortcut keyboard 'Mark as unread' in the Mail no longer works and performs a completely different action instead.

    Hi guys,.

    I get a lot of spam and incongruous emails, most of which don't deserve to be read. I ususally just select all and press "cmd + shift + U" to mark all read or not read. Suddenly, I noticed that this shortcut no longer works for me and even though it is a very minor problem, it is kind of annoying and I'd love to fix it.

    Basically, when I press "cmd + shift + u" now, he is not mark as read – instead it brings up a finder window with the option "open" files (the same window that appears when you click the paper clip in a new email to browse attachments), and I have no idea why!

    In Mail the shortcut should be the same, it is said it is the same shortcut in the drop-down menu, and I have not changed anything. I don't know what the finder window that appears is for, if I actually use it to open a file and then disappears from the window but nothing of actually opens or is happening. What's weird, is that when you use the shortcut to "mark as unread" and the finder window appears, it actually becomes the selected window - mail is still selected. And, therefore, this means that if you continue to press the shortcut to "mark as unread", it will be permanently open these "File Explorer" finder windows... which I've never seen elsewhere.

    Anyone who has a solution?

    So much worse... After weeks of being confused, that just now, I realize what the problem was.

    I installed the Puush application to quickly download screen shots and files... and guess what it was shortened by default for the "upload file"...

    Problem solved.

  • After the latest updates from Microsoft, my Internet Backgammon supplied with Windows 7 no longer works. It is a dead link and the game opens same. That's happened?

    I like to play trump stings on Internet and Internet Backgammon that's installed with Windows 7, Home Premium edition.  However, after the automatic updates installed yesterday, I noticed that the link to play the Internet Backgammon is no longer works.  It's just a dead link.  I can click on it, but nothing happens.  Not even an ounce of trying to open.  It's just 'died '.  I can still play trump stings on the Internet and I have no trouble to access the internet, so I wonder if this is just a small problem or do you have Microsoft remove Internet Backgammon as one of its windows games?  Note, this is Internet Backgammon that is installed on the computer, in the folder games - it is NOT the version of backgammon on MSN that you actually go to the internet and to play.  I am referring to the one in the Games folder, which is installed with Windows 7.  I play this game almost every day, so I hope that it will be restored.  I wish there was a way to contact Microsoft about this, but there isn't and they charge, then...

  • Double-click in the Mail no longer works

    I am running Snow Leopard on an iMac mid-2011 and have mail version 4.6. Everything has been working for all these years, but a few days ago I lost the ability to view messages in a window by double clicking.

    I've seen some old discussions on this topic, but it seemed complicated and a bit scary (repairing permissions, etc.) so I prefer to ask here if there is a simpler answer...

    Thanks in advance

    If you go to the window/Mail, you have more than one window open? If so, try closing all but one.
