Do you have any useful links to resources to save attachments with a script or rule in windows mail. What I have seen, there is only an option to move the message to a special folder in the windows mail rules

Like many others based on previous posts, am unable to open or save attachments in windows mail. I think my problem is exactly the same as "anhlyss" had in the posts in January. I am hoping there is an easier fix than restoring factory setting. As suggested in other threads, I have ensured that I have unchecked the "do not allow attachments to be opened" box in options.
If I click on the attachment to open it, the little hourglass pointer comes up, and then goes back to the arrow, but nothing else happens. If I try to save the attachment, I get this message: "There was an error saving one or more of your attachments, please check your free disk space and try again"
I set a rule over a year ago to delete from the server, all mail over 750KBs. Now we have a faster connection and I want to change that, but can't find where. It's not listed in Message/Rule/Mail. Where is it located in Windows Mail? This is a Vista Home Premium computer with serv pack 2.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn Windows mail i've made two accounts.
One of the accounts is an alias of the same emailbox.
They log in with the same accountname and password.
Recently i've made a rule in Windows mail so that all email from one of the accounts is placed is its respective folder.
The rule works partially because now, all email from both accounts is moved to the folder, while only one of the account is mentioned in the rule.
It looks like it has something to do with the fact that one of the accounts is an alias. The use the same emailbox.
Can someone please tell me if this is the case.
Has someone have any experience with the problem mentioned above.
The OS is Vista.
How do I open an email message in Wndows Mail. There appears to be no open button? It also seems rather complicated to save into the Drafts folder (with all the changing of directories).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI do successfully receive attachments of all kinds and iI can save those in one go by using Save attachments under the paperclip - but for .jpgs all of a sudden. They are there, they show up perfectly in the preview pane, I can rightclick and save them individually from the pane. However, in the Save Attachments list the images are listed correctly but greyed out so I cannot do a multiple Save anymore. Any clues to this strange and unwanted behaviour? Is there a way to 'repair' Vista Windows Mail?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am using a Acer Aspire laptop and using aol webmail for my email. I am not able to open or save attachments from my email. a window will open up and ask to save or open, but when I click open it will save as if it is going to open the attachment but never shows the attachment. when I "save as" an attachment it supposedly sends it to my computer, but I can never find the file. If I go to recent downloads and select the file that I downloaded it says it is missing the shortcut. I am up to date with Adobe Reader for pdf files.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI cannot open or save any attachment using windows Mail running Vista. I get an error message that says 'There was an error opening one or more of the attachment. Please check your free disk space and try again.' I have plenty of disk space. I have tried installing Windoes Live Mail, but I get the same message. I am using Microsoft anti-virus software. I was using AVG. I have read all the other remarks about this problem and have followed some of the suggestions but nothing helps. I have checked and unchecked so many times, I don't even know what I have checked any more. One day it worked and the next day it didn't.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFor the last couple of weeks when I receive mail with attached pdf files, if I try to move or delete the mail Windows Mail hangs. Sometime it recovers but otherwise I need to kill it. I can open the attachment by clicking on the paper clip etc and everything seems fine so I don't think it's a security thing.
View 9 Replies View RelatedStarting about 2 weeks ago, I can't open attachments in Windows Mail. Message says "command failed to execute" I have been reading the posts and still don't know what to do. How do I know if IE8 has been installed as an update? I'm inexperienced with technical stuff. I don't think I installed it, could it have installed on it's own as an update? Tried saving them to desktop but don't know how to separate them from the e-mail, so they still don't open.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have W.Vista Home Premium & MS Office 2007. I am trying to insert my 'signature' into both sending and replying to my e-mails. I have followed the help instructions as I wanted to change the font to another style, colour etc. However 'Help' tells you to format your signature in a WP package and save in html format. Easy, I thought! In Word 2007 when you try to Save As - the html option si not in the drop down menu. so i tried in Wordpad, no luck ther either. how I save to html in vista? I had no problems in W.XP. Wish I had not had to change!
View 9 Replies View RelatedVista, Home Premium, Windows Mail all of a sudden the button to Save Attachments under the Paperclip is greyed out for images such as .jpg I can see the image numbers/names listed but all in grey. I can still save them by rightclicking them in the preview pane but for a mail containing many pics that is rather cumbersome.For other attachment such as movies, powerpoints etc. the Save Button is NOT greyed out and works fine for quick saving...
View 8 Replies View RelatedRecently I was unable to open attachments at all, after uninstalling IE8 I
can now open PPS files but when I try to open a PDF attachment it opens up
Microsoft Office Picture Manager. The only way I can view the attachment is
to save it to another folder and then open it with Adobe 9.1.
I use a Vista and my Windows mail does not send any email with attachments like pictures or short movies, pps and others. Small attchments and normal outgoing emails work fine. I use ZoneAlarm and already disabled the email function, and dont know what else to do.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMost of the time when I attempt to open attachments (Media files such as jpg, mpg, wmv, etc.) the file does not open but I receive a message that OE cannot fnd the file. Usually, if I close OE and reopen, it will operate properly. Sometimes it is necessary to close and reopen more than one time. This never occurred prior to installing IE8. I am using Vista (64) home premium.

View 7 Replies View RelatedThere are discussions on this general subject but no aparent resolution. About two months ago I was sometimes prevented from opening photo attachments on some emails received from the same party and sometimes could open them. By this I mean, I would click on the paperclip where a list of photos would appear and I'd click on on photo and I'd get a message saying: "Windows cannot find file name (photo captions used by sender).jpg. Make sure your typed the name correctly and then try again." Well, of course I didn't type the file name; the sender did. I could click on the save attachments, and once saved to a folder I could open them from the folder. I forwarded the mail to others, and they report no problems in viewing the photos. I can also view the photos in the email itself, but it would be necessary to scan up and down and from left to right to view the whold photo and the caption would not appear.
View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently bought a Dell Inspiron laptop from Future Shop and having a
couple of challenges:
1. Regarding standard text signature at the end of an e-mail: I set up
going through tools, options, signature and want it to appear at the end
of each originally created e-mail and the end of each reply or
forward...in Arial and font size of 10. Works fine when I create an
e-mail, but for a reply or a forward appears as Times New Roman.
Anything I can do to ensure always shows as Arial?
2. Regarding attachments received with an e-mail: often unable to open
when I click on. Someone suggested saving the attachment to the desk top
and then opening...generally works but a pain to save. Someone suggested
the problem is that I don't have full Microsoft Office suite on the
laptop just what came with it-Microsoft Works. Attachements being sent
are not unusual...generally Word, Excel, PDF or PowerPoint. Any
suggestion so that I don't have to save to desktop?
3. Last question...laptop came with a webcam, the workings of which I
am new to. Doesn't always open/work when I click on its icon...window
opens and says " please plug in a supported webcam". Sometimes when I
unplug from internet and reboot computer the webcam works.
ATTACHMENTS NOT OPENING IN WINDOWS MAIL ...

I do see the paper clip indicating an attachment in mmy Inbox but when I opent he email there is no attachment.
