All i want is my ability to send pictures via windows explorer with the right click feature, then to resize them and then send them. Now when it gets ready to send it says some stuff about Skydrive, about some photo album and wants me to log in somewhere. I don't want any of that. I want the old tried and true method I had under plain jane Windows Mail before. How do I make WLM 2011 behave like the old WM? I just want to select, resize and send the way it used to work under WM!!!!! 
To send pictures the way WM or OE did it, don't use Photo Email. Remember "Photo Email" means you are NOT sending the photo by email. (Instead Photo Email sends the full resolution photo to Sky Drive with only a thumbnail link to it in the email.) To avoid that just "attach" the photo or "insert" the photo in line with the text in the message body.
I know you want a direct answer. You cannot "rigth click" and attach the emails to Widows Live Mail 2011. I strongly dislike not being able to do this as well. I don't like Skydrive, I don't like photo albums. Right clicking on one or using Ctrl and click to choose multiple images was a "piece of cake" when using Sendto.
Microsoft, please give us back the Right Click - Sendto - Mail Recipient and attach the emails without all the fuss with Skydrive and Photo Albums. Those features cause more hassles than they are worth.

Well. Time to bite the bullet gang. I have searched high and low and contacted Dev/s in PC with technet at M$. There will be no methods to disable Skydrive. Once you have a live or hotmail account, you automatically have a Skydrive account. All your photos will be attached and uploaded to the Skydrive account and your email recipients will have choices to view their email in slideshows and individually once it arrives in the in-boxes.
The only way to get a picture into the Windows Live Mail 2011 is to Insert it. Click "Insert" on the Menu-bar, choose your image and that's, that's. I am the first to buck at major changes when simplicity becomes "sophisticated" which is suppose to be "progress".
Having said that. I will study all the features and upgrades to Windows Live Mail 2011 because I have a client base who will start pulling their hair out when they get the upgrade and find that they cannot restore (for whatever reason) or use a backup of the HDD to get back to WLM 2009/10.
Most of us were horrified with Vista, the UAC caused many people to bring their computers back to the store because it was not made public how to disable it until it was too late. Not to mention all the other glitches until SP1 and 2 were released. I eventually liked Vista and it brought me into a realm of troubleshooting that prepared me for Windows 7. Windows 7 is a piece of cake and now we who choose to use Windows Live Mail will have to get use to it's features or move onto another email client. Personally, I will stick with the M$ products for one major reason. I have my remote support service that I run from home and I "must stay on top" of new M$ Windows and other downloads from M$.
I bock and I bark and in the end.......I accept the technological advances. After all, 90% of the world uses Windows and I need to help my tiny percent of them every day.
So be it!

I too am very unhappy with this turn of events. I use to be able to resize my pictures in my Canon camera software, click on email in that program and send pictures to family that weren't so large they couldn't open them. Now when I try to use the camera software, the email opens and puts the pictures full sized into Sky Drive. I already put my pics on Flickr and am quite happy with that. I certainly don't need another place to put things.
One really ought to have the option to either opt out or disable Sky Drive

I understand that if you have Windows Live Photo Gallery installed as well, you can use it's right-click option instead:
"(A.) Live Photo Gallery (one or more pictures)
1. Open Photo Gallery
2. Select picture(s)
- use the Control key to choose another folder in WLPG to view and select another folder's pictures
3. Click drop down arrow on the Photo Email option and choose the item 'Send photos as attachments'
(B.) Explorer (one picture)
1. Select a single picture
2. Rt Click and Choose Preview (opens WLPG viewer)
3. Click Photo Email down arrow and choose the option to 'Send photos as attachments'."
( //news.annexcafe.com/annexcafe.general.windowslivemail ; the post is called "Subject: WLM 2011 - Photo Email vs Attachments and then some...")
The problem isn't being able to insert or attach photos, I know how to do that. The problem is that I take my pictures in large format so I can print them out later and have good resolution. But, I send some of them to family by email and want them to be reasonable size or lower resolution. I do this by using the software which came with my camera and is very easy to use. I used to be able to click once, have them resize, click on an email link in the software program and have them attached or inserted (whichever I wanted) into Windows Live Mail at the lower resolution, and then send them without having to save them at the lower resolution thereby creating two versions of my pictures.
Now with SkyDrive it appears that I will have to resize, save a lower resolution version of the picture along with the high resolution I already have and then go into Live Mail and attach or insert them.
It is just a nuisance that I don't want which takes more steps, more memory and I find it very annoying. What I'd like to do is be able to just send the pictures the way I've always sent them.

Actually it seems to me that Microsoft had your purpose in mind when they created Photo Email. More people are taking pictures that have fairly large file sizes but don't want to be bothered with software just to send people a copy of the picture. But if they simply send it, in full rez, it would clog up the mail, requiring long download times for each recipient. Also, many email servers limit the size of uploaded emails. So the idea of photo email is to automatically send a thumbnail image (or images) in the body of the email and put the full rez images on Skydrive. (Without the email file size limits.) Now the recipient gets to see many images quickly in the email and if he/she wants a better view of some they just click on them and download those images. You don't need to use software anymore at all. Just save the large images and use Photo Email to send them to others.
There is a way to send emails with photos From Windows Explorer on WLM 2011
Because Windows Explorer is forcing Photo mail in WLM 2011 you have to despite the program settings.
When selecting the images to send, include a non-image file. This could just be a dummy.txt file that should be in the same folder.
To create that non image file to the photo folder just Right click the window that has the photos and then New--> Text Document
Select your photos including the non-image file RIght click again pick Send to--> Mail recipient you'll still get the option to resize the images, but they'll end up attached rather than a photo mail. You can then Right click the dummy.txt file and REMOVE it from the message before sending.

Here is another idea from the folks at the WLM newsgroup on the news.annexcafe.com server called annexcafe.general.windowslivemail:
In the message composition window, select a photo shown in the Photo e-mail to reveal the Photo Email Tools/Format and click the paperclip to change a photo e-mail to one with attachments.
I haven't tested this myself (still using the previous version of WLM). I'm also not sure if resizing is still possible.
I use ACDsee and with the 2011 version of Live Mail, I've had the same problem.
I did as Roncerr said. Once on the message page, I click on one of the photo and the tab "Format" appears, then click the paperclip in "Album Styles" to change photo e-mail to one with attachments. You still change the size (not many choices but enough for me).
I've tried it and it work like the old one.
Pfewww, cheers Roncerr

Take a look at post #6 of this thread:
How to disable Skydrive and photo album in WLM 2011
The portion of the above post (quoted from "...winston" at the annexcafe/Windows Live Mail Newsgroup on 11/2/10) that includes the phrase you mentioned is in the 2nd paragraph below but I think the first paragraph is for the right-click option while the second applies to adding photos to the email you are composing:
"...in the message composition window (Select a photo shown in the Photo e-mail to reveal the Photo Email Tools/Format), click the paperclip to change a photo e-mail to one with attachments...
Separately from using Explorer with the Right click options...since folks do wish to attach pics when composing new messages in WLM 2011 (when signed on to Windows Live with a Live ID)
- To avoid any 'convert to Photo e-mail interference'....uncheck the WLM 2011 option to 'Convert messages to Photo e-mails when adding photos' on the program's settings Compose tab(ALT F O M)..."

Hi, why do the photos, that I send with Windows Live Mail, end up on Sky Drive looking blurry and out of focus and with a terrible resolution. Sky Drive ruins the appearance of the beautiful photos that I want to share. Is there a solution, or does Sky Drive stink as well as Windows Live Mail 2011?

I made myself a Dummy Text file to include and delete with WLM and it works perfectly just like OE did.
Makes you wonder why MS make something simple to do and use like in OE and then create a convoluted way of doing the same thing?
ms should supply an option as a solution, but yours is elegant & works. thanx again.
I'm so proud of myself - I stumbled upon the solution!
Like everyone else, I was frustrated by not being able to easily send re-sized photos as attachments in e-mails, as opposed to skydrive
but i figured out how to do it, easily
Right-click on the selected photos as usual, select send to mail recipient and re-size as wanted
Once it comes up as a photo e-mail � here's the trick - hit view slideshow in the e-mail window
A Photo album tools tab will now appear. Hit the format tab. Click on the paper-click (attachment) icon, and they will now be switched to attachments, at their re-sized resolutions
2 or 3 simple clicks and you're done
Voila!

rdemarco: doesn't work on my system, although obviously does for some. previous solution works on mine.
Sky drive has to go, it is not needed. What MS has done can account for only one thing. SPYING on pictures sent through the internet. If not we would be able to deactivate the program and have a choice. I tried for weeks to return to the standard way of sending emails with no luck. Finally I loaded live mail 2009 XP and I was happy again. Now within the last week MS change the code, put the change in a update, SKYDRIVE is back.... I have my own server and I don't want it or need it!
Looking for a new email client, MSN will not be my home page anymore, looking for a new IE.
Thanks Microsoft for screwing up a good thing you bunch of nitwits���.

I have to agree with truth is ias, because when I went into my account and all of a sudden photos started clicking up which I'd emailed to people, (relatives, yes, but not photos I care to send to people I don't know, and other photos for insurance purposes) I wasn't happy.
Sure they weren't seen by anyone but me, but what in the world right do they have to take these photos and even see them themselves and be sending them back to me!! This is my private stuff, they don't have the right to get into things which are between me and my insurance company or me and my relatives and send them back to me!
KEEP OUT OF MY LIFE! If I wanted to send these to people, make them public I would, I never asked for this SkyDrive crap and I don't want it, I want it gone from my computer from my system totally and completely or at least a way to totally disable it.
Big Brother IS watching!

I'm still using WLM 2009. There are still two ways to send photos without "Photo Email"/"SkyDrive". Just select "insert image inline" or "insert file as attachment".

Using Skydrive to send pictures to people, frees up countless email servers, no longer clogging the pipes with spam.
Do you honestly want to be like spam? Clogging the email servers with crap?

bravo! COMPLETELY AGREE! I am well annoyed they "tricked" my parents into using the service. Theres no choice, your just forced to use it (or use another software solution).
�� Quote: Originally Posted by logicearth Stop using email then! If it is private DO NOT use email, email is NOT private. Seriously you are being foolish.
1) Email IS private. Just because you can "uncover" or "by publicly available means otherwise discover/view its content" does not make it "public". It makes it insecure, sure. I wonder who the general public would consider the fool here?
Sky drive, reduce spam xD *LMAO*. okayyy.
My oppinion (and here I may enter into foolhardyness), SkyDrive is another Microsoft attempt to subvert some of the power gained by Facebook, Twitter, My Space, BeBo, Google and other such services. They know they would have a job convincing people to move their stuff over to their own, frankly, similiar or identical service so they are using their "lockin" Windows Live brand to try and implicity have people moved over without their really realising.
The sad thing is, such techniques work, because most people just don't understand how things work and a large number of those people don't care (until they get bitten in the ass by it).
That is why, I recommend to everyone.. don't buy/accept ANY Windows Live product! I have personally replace Windows Live Messenger (since they nobbled the GOOD Windows Messenger) with Pidgen (which is really great and doesn't try and install unwanted stuff or control how you use your system or encumber you with unnecessary licencing conditions).
BOYCOT WINDOWS LIVE!
Put simply, IMO, Windows Live is Microsofts latest attempt to be able to provide their services / supply their software in an entirely online format. If they EVER succeed in this endevour (thank God for open source) they will be charging us for airspace matters (we wouldn't own anything). It would be like not having a car and always having to pay for Taxis!
I personally feel Microsoft are betraying the customer base they built with their attempts to move away from traditional software supply. However, it does seem that everyone is wanting this holy grail.. complete control and being paid without having any shipping costs.

I also don't like when vendors treat my machine like a "spam" platform. Sure serve me some adverts but don't connect 13 or 14 simultanious connections to different servers and run system monitoring services and have a huge application footprint (yes, it sounds like I had a virus.. turned out it was just Windows Live Messenger...).
"Basicly, I'll come to terms with anything if I feel like I am asked and have chosen it." Me, Right now.
What ****s me off is when they do things without asking! Even if they believe its "in our favour". Even if they don't actually "ask" (which is prefered) they should at least "tell" and "warn" of change! Now, maybe they sent out some marketing info to users about Sky Drive and it got lost in the "pile" of trite. It should be making it clear when you first use the service (and not in a bunch of legal stuff, have that as a must read sure, but have a ****ing summary).
I will gladly spend money to companies which act with respect and treat a user with dignity (and Microsoft has done well historically. Prehaps when Bill was more in control [entirely conjecture there]). They've been great with their enterprise solutions and software systems in general
. They did a great job with Windows XP and (although somewhat overloaded and bloated... unnecessary service overkill [that is unneccessary for most users comming pre-installed and running]) with Vista and Windows 7 too (local RPC message spamming aside).I'd happily still be using messenger, but they forced us to upgrade to Windows Live [after a while] (or, in fairness install your own messenger server). I wasn't looking for a "live my life in a Microsoft online world" I just wanted to chat privately with a select group of friends (and my family certainly didn't realise alot of what was being done "for them"). MSN messenger had ad's but they where only a minor annoyance and occasionally interesting. Basicly, Microsoft have lost one audience member for their advertising!
If you want to get more uses M$, make a version of messenger which doesn't spawn lots of processes (single process application calling standard system components) and that doesn't spam IP traffic (or at least gives the user choice of where it connects and why) and doesn't "require" buying into the entire Windows Live "experience".
From what I found out, I have to uninstall Photo Gallery and Movie Maker to get rid of sky drive. Save your pictures first. Any suggestions on what to use for managing pictures, simple editing and emailing? I used to use Picasa but got too complicated for me. Damn Microsift!!!

Forwarding a fax as e-mail from Windows Fax and Scan (with the appropriate button in the toolbar of the console fax), start Windows Live Mail 2011 and automatically create a new email message within the fax image in tif format . The image is inserted as the PHOTO and the screen automatically starts to connect online with LiveID.
Inserting tif image as photo albums and not as an attachment creates problems if you cancel sending the request for online connection and sends the mail does not arrive or is shipped empty.
It 'can also set registry of windows because forwarding faxes, but also from other programs, to take place live mail as an attachment and not as a photo album?
PS. The setting must be done on live mail since 2011 that there was no problem with the 2009 version.

I think Microsoft is going down hill (its a conspiracy). Each time MS comes out with a "newer and greater" version of anything it is always worse that what they had. UAC is junk, SkyDrive is total junk. MS is always pushing the user's control of anything further and further away into the abyss. Windows Live Mail- ?? So many menu items you can't find anything. Sometimes the spell check works in Mail and sometimes it don't- just whatever it feels like doing that day.
New updated software shuts you out. I know what I want to do but the software thinks we humans are incompetent. Outlook Express- that was great. Movie Maker 2.6 that's good- the new Movie Maker is sucks. I am strongly thinking of going back to XP when things actualy worked and you had control. Besides a lot of the great software like the AOLpress html editor will not work with Win 7 64 bit (at least not without a lot of crashes).
It seems to me MS is taking more and more control away from the user. Ever gone through all that permissions crap and ownership garbage?
The two things I hate about each windows "upgrade" is losing more and more control and being force to allow progams to operate no matter if you want them to or not- like that piece of junk SkyDrive. It would nice to just be able to attach a photo like you use to- "improvement"- you think? And what about the "select all" to delete all your junk emails at once.
Bill, do you know or care your company is losing it "loyal" customer base? We hate being told what we can and can not do. Bring back Outlook Express- !!!!!!!!!!! and dump all the other junk while you're at it- like windows estentials - wow now there's a winner.

Well said, essentialsNOT! However, you don't have to go back to XP. As far as Windows 7 goes, it's pretty good. It's easy to turn off UAC and auto updates. Anything else that bothers you can probably be fixed by Google searches. (I've filled a few folders with registry fixes which I placed under the heading "Take Control".) I use WLM 2009 since it more closely resembles Vista's Windows Mail. I rarely use "Photo Email" (ok I did once when I had a bunch of crappy pictures to send). The "Insert file as attachment" and "Insert image inline" work great. Signing in so you can use the cloud is advisable, mainly so you can preserve you contacts with their arrangement into "categories" and at least be able to use Photo Email when you want to. I also forward my email to one main account so I only need to set up one POP3 account, making it behave like it had only one Inbox, etc.

The "Insert file as attachment" and "Insert image inline" work great. Signing in so you can use the cloud is advisable, mainly so you can preserve you contacts with their arrangement into "categories" and at least be able to use Photo Email when you want to. I also forward my email to one main account so I only need to set up one POP3 account, making it behave like it had only one Inbox, etc.
very little of this makes any sense to me - i am just a simple bloke that wants to send attachments that people at the other end can open rather than ringing me up and asking 'what is this sky drive thing i can't open your letter" this is just another part of the world that won't leave just me alone to get on with things and keeps trying to confuse me.

Just double click on the the first photo, then you can change from photo album to attachment by clicking on the paper clip icon.
Done! No skydrive

After they are removed you can install Windows Live Essentials 2009. DO NOT try and install Windows Live Essentials 2009 after removing WLE2011 without deleting the correct folders. It will not work.
Apparently Microsoft analyzes every photo you upload. So upload a nude picture and they will cancel your account for you.
That's only assuming you use a Hotmail/Live account. It has nothing to do with the WLM client.
I am a big fan of WLM 2009-2010. It truly is as close to Outlook Express with advantages for Live, Hotmail and MSN accounts being able to synchronize email folders. But "blah" to WLM 2011-2012 for not giving us the ability to right click, resize and send attachments as we have for years. At least an option? How much is that to ask?
Yes Skdrive Sucks. people cant get the photos. no way of making the attachment option as default.
wished I still had XP and Outlook express!

I used to be able to click once, have them resize, click on an email link in the software program and have them attached or inserted (whichever I wanted) into Windows Live Mail at the lower resolution, and then send them without having to save them at the lower resolution thereby creating two versions of my pictures.
Now with SkyDrive it appears that I will have to resize, save a lower resolution version of the picture along with the high resolution I already have and then go into Live Mail and attach or insert them.
It is just a nuisance that I don't want which takes more steps, more memory and I find it very annoying. What I'd like to do is be able to just send the pictures the way I've always sent them.

SkyDrive bypass for pictures in email
Go to picture source (My Pictures) select pictures (Ctrl-Click for multiples)
Click on email (on top of screen) select size (if other than full size desired)
Click attach, it should then open in Windows Live Email.
It will be in the Sky Drive format
Click on one of the pictures
Click the format button on top
Click the paperclip
That cuts out SkyDrive and makes the photos regular attachments.
Add email address, type message and send
but it requires you to log in. i don't want to log in! so i select a dummy .txt file with the .jpgs i select, send, that works fine, then delete it from the email b4 sending.
SkyDrive suddenly appeared on my machine! It's not visible anywhere ( in Programs,mail accounts,networks etc. , so how do I get access to it?
E-mailing pics using my cannon and nikon apps don't work right! I want to remove SkyDrive or at least remove this computer from SkyDirve... can't do that either!
I take it from this thread, it cannot be removed, so how do I find it so I can at least use it?

When I send pics via e-mail the SkyDrive name appears on the page with the image. I cannot resize the pic, nor can the recipient.

Problem solved Thanks for your help.
I came looking for information on WLM/SkyDrive because this very day was my first experience of it.
One of the lucky ones, I inherited Win7 late in its techno and my literal life. I mourn the loss of XP and would make happy use of a lead pipe on those Sillycone Valley technocrats whose mission in life is to show how smart they are by making life increasingly difficult for the vast majority of users on the www who have to put up with increasingly difficult formats, and as others have said here; so that they have ever increasing control, slowly eliminating personal choice.
I do not want to be banned on a first post so the lead pipe will do, and any other sentiments are between me and the cat.
However, if technological systems were to be given an enema; the rubber tube would be inserted into Windows Live Mail.
I see it as worthwhile to post on this old thread, because it deals precisely with what most of you have known about for four? years.
As a Senior I've tackled most of the vagaries of Win7, but from the get go saw WLM as the spawn of Satan. Today I tried to send my first picture.....
You know the rest. I refused to join the SkyDrive skidmark; and naively thought I could just send. I sent a nicely framed 'X'.
Searching lead to this thread. Without the ingenuity of those who work on solutions, we would all be right Royally skewed.
Skewed. I said skewed. Nowt rude there...
I have used the 'attach file' method, but will explore the other options on offer. At my age I do not have the time to waste in deciphering this latest (for me) deceitful pile of hit (with a silent s).
Thank-you for these solutions. sevenforums has been a valuable tool in the two months that I have had Win7.
I had to vent. This has delayed sending an important image by over two hours.
(Oh joy! I write but the cursor has just decided it will be invisible).

If it's still there, WLM 2009 is at www.oldapps.com I hope you can find it. You cannot install WLM2009 over WLM2012. Do a search on Google to find the answer on how to clean-up WLM 2012.
Good luck! I use WLM2009 and it works on W8.1 and W10. Though I like W7 best. I use just the email client and it works great.

Because Windows Explorer is forcing Photo mail in WLM 2011 you have to despite the program settings.
When selecting the images to send, include a non-image file. This could just be a dummy.txt file that should be in the same folder.
To create that non image file to the photo folder just Right click the window that has the photos and then New--> Text Document
Select your photos including the non-image file RIght click again pick Send to--> Mail recipient you'll still get the option to resize the images, but they'll end up attached rather than a photo mail. You can then Right click the dummy.txt file and REMOVE it from the message before sending.

You are most welcome, and more importantly congratulations being able to use WLM2009 again!
Happy 2016! A reliable email client for someone who uses a computer a lot makes a huge difference in our lives.

Ok, I hate skydrive and wanted it the way it used to be before Microsoft fixed it. Not happening, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
If you right click on the photo/photos you want to send and click copy, you can then open and email and in the message body right click and hit paste. You can resize like always and you are done!

Right-clicking is an essential method to attach an image to a new email message. There is no better way or better workaround that is as practical as the sendto, mail, resize image. It's just as important as being able to copy and past files from one folder to another.
You will not be able to uninstall Windows Live 2012 then install Windows Live 2009. Unfortunately you'll have to do a clean install of Windows 7, 8, or 10. For me, it was worth it.
I embedded a direct link to the file at Oldapps. The file is 134MB and you should save it forever. It works great on XP, W7, W8, W8.1 and W10. You just have to use it in W7 compatibility mode on Windows 10. Just click "mail" and "silverlight" when you install it. The other crap (crap to me) isn't worth it.

I think Microsoft was out of it's mind removing the sendto, mail, resize. It was perfect in OE, Vista Mail and Live Mail 2009. I swear stupidity runs amok in the dev-shed.
