Forwarding,replying and sending mail problems

I recently update my OS to Win7 64bit and when I did that my mail client was updated to live mail 2011 which was fine I used the older version of live mail anyway but with the new one im having trouble Replying forwarding ans sending mail I get an smtp error which I can make go away if I switch my default account (I have 4 accounts 2 live 1 tiscali and 1 orange) also I cant forward emails with images at all it just tells me the email is missing images do I still want to send.
Has anyone else had this adn know what to do also is it possible to switch back to the older one .

hi dacons, and welcome to sevenforums,

lots of people are finding things to dislike about this new live mail.

have a look at page 2 of this thread.

it's got download links for the old version.

Well a little update I managed to delete essentials 2011 and download the old version which has been fine for almost a week but now im have problems again I cant send emails mainly with attachments I dont understand its not my mail account as I have 4 from 3 different places its not my ISP as its only just started all I can assume it its a Win7 issue cos its only happened since I updated.

Combining your two posts, you said:
"1)...an smtp error which I can make go away if I switch my default account...
2)...it just tells me the email is missing images do I still want to send...
3)...I cant send emails mainly with attachments..."

Does #3 refer to the first two problems?

As far as #1 goes, some email service providers only allow outgoing mail (smtp) from their server when you are using them as the internet access provider.

As for #2, I have been seeing this for a long time on many email programs. I just answer "yes" (send anyway) and it goes through, although with something missing. This usually happens when "sending a web page by email".

Hey guys back again well I downgraded the live mail and all was ok found out my main email account had been restricted so im not haveing send or recieve errors anymore but I am having issues with picture, I can send a new mail with an attached image noproblem but when I try and forward one with a picture in the email like those joke emails you get sent from friends and family , I get a message saying the images cannot be sent do you with to send anyway.

Any ideas?
