Can't drag attachments to live mail

Frustrating!

It's possible that the issue you're experiencing with not being able to drag attachments to Live Mail is due to a few reasons. Here are some potential solutions to help you resolve the issue:

  1. Check if the attachment is too large: If the attachment is too large, it might not be possible to drag it to Live Mail. Try reducing the file size or splitting the attachment into smaller files.
  2. Disable any third-party add-ons: Sometimes, third-party add-ons or extensions can interfere with the functionality of Live Mail. Try disabling any add-ons or extensions you have installed and see if the issue persists.
  3. Check the Live Mail settings: Ensure that the "Drag and drop" feature is enabled in Live Mail. To do this:
    • Open Live Mail and go to Tools > Options.
    • Click on the General tab.
    • Under "Compose and reply", make sure the "Drag and drop" option is enabled.
  4. Try using the "Attach file" button: Instead of dragging the attachment, try using the "Attach file" button in the Live Mail compose window. This might help you attach the file successfully.
  5. Check for updates: Ensure that Live Mail is up-to-date. Sometimes, updates can resolve issues like this.
  6. Reset Live Mail settings: If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting Live Mail settings to their default values. To do this:
    • Open Live Mail and go to Tools > Options.
    • Click on the Reset button at the bottom of the window.
    • Confirm that you want to reset the settings.
  7. Reinstall Live Mail: If all else fails, you can try reinstalling Live Mail. This will remove all settings and data, so be sure to back up your emails and settings before doing so.

If none of these solutions work, you may want to try searching for more specific solutions or reaching out to Microsoft Support for further assistance.
