Windows 10: Issues while sending attachments using Mail app

Just like in this:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/all/attachments/2908a724-3a64-431f-825b-0960974c8957


I have the same problem. I send emails but the attachments - that I KNOW are there - don't send. They are removed from the email, which is then sent. This happens when the file sizes are on the large size (today's was about 4.4MB) or when I send several at one time. It's not consistent. Sometimes I get lucky and can send 6 MB of files at one time. I just never know when the attachment bandit is going to strike.


I use Windows 10, the built-in Microsoft Mail program with an outlook.com mail account. (This forum forced me to pick "Live" mail but I don't think it's technically called that. It's just called "Mail.")


The problem does not happen when I use a browser to send the email. I can also get the email to send the attachments if I send a NEW email... instead of a reply to an existing email thread. It's very odd.


This is affecting my ability to do my work and deliver things to my clients. Please help. Thanks.

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)

If you send an email that exceeds the maximum email size limit of the recipient’s email provider then the mail with attachment will stay in the mailbox.

For outlook.com and Hotmail the maximum email size limit is (10MB per file attachment).For Microsoft Outlook it is 20 MB.
