Whoa!! Another problem (I'm fighting) is the failure of my first log on to MSN (Hotmail Account), But the next attempt succeeds (same password). This occurs every time.
MSN has known of this problem for some time (they acknowledged) but have not resolved to date. I'm currently paying for 'premium' service. If I didn't have so much E-mail in them, I'd be in Gmail all the way. Does Leo know how to move my history of E-mails in-total, to Gmail? I've got the address list transfered. Roger

You can transfer emails from a Hotmail account using the Windows Live Mail Desktop program. Use it, set it up to work with your Hotmail account, then setup, for example a GMail account and if you use IMAP you should be able to get it to upload all your hotmail emails to your GMail account.

Sometimes it's not Hotmail's fault at all, and sometimes this happens with other e-mail providers and other e-mail applications too. Sometimes, this happens because the virus protection installed on the computer is being TOO thorough - so thorough that it replaces the actual message being sent with its own message saying that "This message is certified to be virus-free." AVG has this effect in some cases, and I'm sure others do too.

What always works for me is to check the e-mail protection portion of the computer's overall virus protection. If it's set to CERTIFY outgoing mail, disable this function. It's really an unnecessary, overkill feature anyway, and when it causes problems with e-mails, it's more than just obnoxious. See if this helps.

Why am I told I have new email when I don't?

why I can't send any attachment in my e-mail

When I reply to an email, only recently has my reply screen been blank. I mean that the original message is no longer included as it was before. I like the convenience of replying to emails which I can still see as I'm responding. How do I get back that feature?

I noticed the same problem with my Windows Live Mail (not Hotmail). There is one sender whose email comes up (Unicode-8). That person's email is the only on (mulitple emails) that my replies are blank. Others work ok.

Re: Blank replies: I am having the same problem except there is no acknowledgement that there even WAS a reply. People are now thinking I am not responding to their emails. I'm going to switch email providers. It is imperative to have a "reply" feature. This happened ever since I downloaded the new Explorer 8.
