Windows live mail scan to email

A blast from the past!

Windows Live Mail (WLM) is a discontinued email client developed by Microsoft, and "Scan to Email" is a feature that allows you to send scanned documents or images directly from a scanner or camera to your email account.

To use the "Scan to Email" feature in Windows Live Mail, follow these steps:

  1. Open Windows Live Mail and create a new email message by clicking on the "Compose" button.
  2. In the "To" field, enter the email address where you want to send the scanned document or image.
  3. Click on the "Insert" menu and select "Picture" or "Scan" (depending on your scanner or camera).
  4. Follow the prompts to scan the document or image using your scanner or camera.
  5. Once the scanning process is complete, the scanned document or image will be attached to the email message.
  6. Add any additional information, such as a subject line and message body, and then click the "Send" button to send the email.

Note: Make sure that your scanner or camera is properly connected to your computer and that you have the necessary drivers installed.

Alternatively, you can also use the "Scan to Email" feature in Windows Live Mail by using the "Scan" button in the "Insert" menu. This will open the Windows Fax and Scan application, which allows you to scan documents or images and send them directly to your email account.

It's worth noting that Windows Live Mail is no longer supported by Microsoft, and it's recommended to use a more modern email client or web-based email service, such as Outlook or Gmail, for your email needs.
