If you <a href=\"https:\/\/signup.live.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">sign-up<\/a> for a free Windows Live\u00a0account, or have a current live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com account, your full-size photos will be automatically uploaded to a private online storage area and held for 30 days.\u00a0The advantage of the online storage of the full-size photos is that it lets you send more photos\u00a0in an e-mail which are\u00a0small file size, without getting close to\u00a0the 10MB-per-email size limit imposed by many e-mail service providers.<\/p>\n<p>For example I recently sent an email with approximately 20 pictures. If I had sent the e-mail with another program without down-sizing the pictures, the combined size of all the pictures would have been\u00a0over 10 MB.\u00a0However sending the pictures using Windows Live Mail, the thumbnail-size pictures embedded in the e-mail only added up to 200KB. When I sent the e-mail Windows Live Mail it automatically uploaded the 10MB+ full-size photos online. The e-mail recipients can click on the pictures in the e-mail to be taken to a web page with\u00a0full-size pictures which they can view as a slide show or download any or all pictures to their computer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/computertechsreno.com\/tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/newphotoemail.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-214\" title=\"New Photo Email Composition\" src=\"http:\/\/computertechsreno.com\/tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/newphotoemail-500x464.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/computertechsreno.com\/tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/newphotoemail-500x464.gif 500w, https:\/\/computertechsreno.com\/tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/newphotoemail-150x139.gif 150w, https:\/\/computertechsreno.com\/tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/newphotoemail.gif 1007w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Windows Live Mail also has a handy search feature for email messages or contacts that narrows down the the list of search results as you type.
