Why isn't more save attachments in Windows Mail?

Something has happened recently to my Windows Mail prevents me to save attachments in the menu.  When I go to 'Save attachments' in the 'Menu', it is dimmed.  I followed the instructions of Windows under Tools, Options, security: I unchecked the box "do not allow opening or saving attachments that could contain a virus", but it has no effect on the resolution of this problem.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

You will specify, please, what you hear on open the message in a separate window.

Double-click the header of the message, or right-click | Open and the message will open in its own window.

  • Can not save attachments in Windows Mail in Vista Local folders or subfolders

    I have a new Vista 64 system and I have actually two problems.  First of all, I can't move old emails (more 2 G total) of my XP Outlook Express email on my old laptop in Vista 64 - bit Windows Mail on my new desktop.  Files folders and the content may be downloaded, but have not been recognized and installed by Win. Mail.  I talked to several computer technicians who could not find a solution except either to send the emails from old files individually or as a group to myself to my server (Yahoo more).  Is there a better solution?  Secondly, when I send my self a such email with multiple attachments and I try to save, I can't find a thread that will lead to my Windows Mail > local folders > Inbox >(folders and sub-folders).  Nor can I drag-and - drop these saved emails (they contain many different endings) to these files. Help, please.

    Hello Mmmaltby,

    Thank you for using Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    A common method to transfer everything via is to use the Export command in Outlook Express to save all messages and contacts to separate files, copy them to the Vista PC and then use the option import (on the file menu) to import the data into Windows Mail.

    If please reply and let us know if your problem is resolved or if you need more help

  • I can't open or save attachments in e-mail.

    I can't open or save attachments in e-mail.  I have windows Vista 32 bit with Trend Micro Security and IE9.  It started last week.  I made no changes to the system.  I searched all the newspapers of the community on this subject without success (it would be useful if it were in chronological order, so I could see more recent issues and resolutions.  How can I recover from this serious problem that won't let me record/opening attached.  I'm getting desperate.

    Hello

    You have access to the email that you are unable to download attachments from Internet Explorer or via an e-mail client? If it is a mail client, please let us know what email client you use.

    Method 1: make sure that you do have the option not to save the pages encrypted on the disc is activated. You can enable/disable this option as follows:

    • Open Internet Explorer
    • Click on Tools
    • Click on Internet Options
    • Click the Advanced tab
    • Enable or disable the option not to save the pages encrypted on the disc
    • Click OK
    • Close Internet Explorer
    • Open Internet Explorer

    Method 2: Try to reset the settings of Internet Explorer 9.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-Vista/reset-Internet-Explorer-settings-in-Internet-Explorer-9

    Note: The feature reset the Internet Explorer settings can reset security settings or privacy settings that you have added to the list of Trusted Sites. Reset the Internet Explorer settings can also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the reset Internet Explorer settings.

  • Saved attachments in Windows Mail do not appear in the actual file

    In Vista, using Windows Mail, attachments are saved to disk hard aren't really there.  It does not matter what type of file it is.  When you click on an attachment to a paperclip icon and navigate to the folder on the hard disk where you want to save the file, the file seems to save successfully.  But, when you go to this real folder through 'Computer', the file is not really there.  If you go back to the email and save it, it says that the file already exists (although looking at the file in a Windows Explorer window, it is not there).  If you save multiple attachments from Windows Mail to a folder, the record is displayed all files in this folder... but none are really there.  What is the problem here?

    My only guess is that some 3rd party program is screw things upwards.  You can check for antimalware, antispam, or antivirus software and see if that might be the problem (seewww.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  In OE, we suggest set you up a new identity, but it is not so easy in WinMail.  I guess you'll just to workaround it.  To ensure that the economy of attachment is selected under Tools | Options | Security also.

    We tried.  This is even if hidden files are marked to show or not.  It does not matter where you save the file in... it will not be displayed in a regular Windows Explorer window, or be seen by other software (for example, whether a file you want to import into a program).

    If you double-click the message to open it in its own window and drag the attachment to a Windows Explorer window, it save successfully and can be seen and used as usual.

    Yes, Microsoft Office Word is responsible.

    Save it in a folder of your choice. See if you can open it.

  • Why, when I send an email using windows mail (RoadRunner ISP) sometimes it does not transmit the image that are in the original.

    Why, when I send an email using windows mail (RoadRunner ISP) sometimes it does not transmit the image that are in the original.

    Some messages are not complying with the standards of the Internet and the images do not show before their delivery.  You can overcome this by transmitting the message as an attachment instead, and then the images will be intact.

  • Unable to save attachments in Windows Live Mail

    First of all, I saw this question raises a number of times on this and other sites to support, but I've yet to see it resolved. I'm running a fully corrected and updated current version of Windows Vista SP2 and you have installed Windows Live Mail in my default e-mail Manager. In short, I'm only able to download attachments of any kind by drag-and - drop on my desktop - all usual ways have no effect, or produce a generic error message.

    Upon receipt of an email with parts attachments of any type in any amount:

    1. Double-click an attachment icon - no effect
    2. Right click, don't choose 'Open' - no effect
    3. Right click, choose 'Print' - successfully print paper or .pdf [my default printer]
    4. Right-click, choose "save under"-"save attachment as" command prompt opens. When you click 'Save' (on the desktop for these examples), prompt disappears, and no file is saved on the desktop.
    5. Right click, choose 'Save everything' - 'Save attachments' command prompt opens. When you click on "Save", the error message if there is a registration error, one or more of the attachments. Please check your free disk space and try again. Note: The available disk space is not a problem on this machine.
    6. Drag / drop the attachment of the WLM message on my desk - work successfully.

    Solutions already attempted:

    1. Delete all temporary files of Internet Explorer 9 [any effect]
    2. In IE9 security options, ensuring"download file"is "activated". [any effect]
    3. In IE9 security options, disable the "Protected Mode" [any effect]
    4. After trying the previous two solutions, change the security zone in Windows Live Mail (Options--> Security--> Security tab Options) for the "Internet Zone" rather that "sensitive sites"area [any effect]
    5. In Windows Live Mail, ensure that "do not allow the opening or saving attachments that could contain a virus" box is unchecked [any effect]
    6. Ensure all analyzes e-mail is disabled by my anti-virus (Avast software! Free antivirus 6.0.1367). Note: No product AVG, Norton or MacAfee have already been installed on this machine, I understand that their presence (current or former) may contribute to this problem
    7. Use ProceXP to display all the assets of .dll files used by Windows Live Mail to make sure that nothing unusual is running. Nothing unusual, although wlmail.exe accesses the Avast! AV .dll 'snxhk.dll '. I don't know if this has an effect.
    8. Run the System File Checker tool [no problem found, no effect].

    While this problem has a workaround solution, is somewhat a disadvantage and slightly confusing (why would 'print' and drag-and - drop works, but nothing else?). I hope that I haven't missed the solution somewhere and that, otherwise, it can be resolved for the good of someone fall on this issue. Thanks in advance.

  • Cannot open attachments in Windows Mail

    Can not open attachments [such as wmv.] in Windows Mail
    Unless I first save the attachment and then open it from the location of the saved file. After that attachments can be opened in WM until the next time I start the PC. Then I do the routine save - open again.
    Help, please
    Thank you

    Try this, instead of open Windows Mail on the part of the shortcuts to quick launch or desktop, or in the Start Menu, start it from "start |" All programs | Windows Mail' and see if your attachments open.  There is a recurring problem between Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Mail that causes this and many people have been able to resolve the question drinking from Windows Mail in this way.  These discussions have a lot more information:

    Vista, IE8, Windows Mail, can not open attachments
    Microsoft Word attachments to e-mail
    Windows Mail does not open attachments, cannot open the PDF, JPEG...

  • Unable to open or save files from Windows Mail attached.

    My problem:

    Windows Mail on a new Vista system (for me)... I had been using Outlook Express and miss me him now three feaures: compose of 1) ability to open and save attachments, 2) semi-automatic recipient and copy 3) invisible on screen. Feature missing #1 is a showstoper.

    Another option would be to use a website based email system, I guess.

    In Re problem # 1 (attachments)

    ---------------------------------------from Q&A screens------------------------------

    Windows Mail blocks certain types of file attachments that are commonly used to spread e-mail viruses, such as files with the following file name extensions: .exe, .pif and .scr files. IfWindows Mail blocks an attachment in an e-mail message, the information bar displays a message letting you know he did and list the attachment that has been blocked.

    I know that I need programs such as Word files .doc to open .doc attachments, but above characters fat not yet past.

    Open Windows Mail by clicking the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Mail.

    Click on the Tools menu and then click Options.

    Click the Security tab, clear the do not allow attachments to the opening or recording that could potentially be a virus check box, and then click OK.

    The above could not solve the problem.

    -of the screen Windows Mail communities.

    Service temporarily unavailable
    We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again later.

    So. I'm stuck.

    1: you get the message that Windows has blocked access to the attachment, or it does not work? All file extensions or part?

    2: tools | Options | Send. The corresponding checkbox is checked? Note that only 29 addresses are remembered. See for more information.

    3: CCI works exactly as in OE.

    • 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.
