  1. When saving documents to PC, extra numbers added to the file name eg [3202]


    I've been using Win10 email client for years. Since the beginning, when saving a document to any drive, extra numbers in square brackets are automatically added to the file and appear in the 'save as' box. Here is an example



    When saving documents to PC, extra numbers added to the file name eg [3202] c98ad4dd-8b96-40fa-b8a0-e284ba182127.png


    The numbers [5851] are system added for some reason.


    It means that if I want to save a document, I have to edit those random numbers out, as shown below, where I will need to delete the spurious [91071] from the file name before saving.



    When saving documents to PC, extra numbers added to the file name eg [3202] a9f21a64-800a-4742-a236-43193a89038e?upload=true.jpg


    Why is this happening?

    More importantly, how do I stop the extra numbers being added to documents as it is frying my brain!

    :)

    Any update on "Win 10 Mail app (on PC) saves documents with extra numbers in the document title - why?!"?

    Now that's interesting....

    Left-click opens the file with the extra digits

    Right-click> Open opens the file with the extra digits

    Right-click> Save saves the file with the original name

    Definitely a good work around.

    Any suggestions on how to change the action of Open?

    Trouble saving voicemail number

    To access my voicemail it is my phone number, a pause and 4 digit pin.



    I did the following steps:

    • Turned off default voicemail number
    • Added a , (for pause) at end of my phone number
    • Added the 4 digit pin
    I get the following error message We're having trouble saving your voicemail number right now. Try again later.



    Any suggestions on how to correct this?

  4. When saving documents to PC, extra numbers added to the file name eg [3202]

    Win 10 Mail app (on PC) saves documents with extra numbers in the document title - why?!

    Hi Jennifer - I deleted and reattached yahoo mail, but the word.doc downloads still have numbers after the genuine document title. The latest one has added an erroneous [2185]....Summary of Findings DF[2185]

    Bizarre.

    It has just recently begun to do this.

    Also - the People app nolonger shows any contacts. It was paired with my Gmail. I disconnected Gmail (which I only use for contacts and calendar) so that my Yahoo email would show up first in the list. I reconnected Gmail. Calendar and Email work fine but
    No contacts have come across. I have tried reinstalling both apps from the Store but no change.

    So - now I have two issues:

    - random numbers added to downloaded document titles

    - people app not showing ANY contacts from Gmail

    Any suggestions?
