Unable to Attach file in Outlook Email?

outlook file attachment error

Can’t attach a file in an email? Here is help. Are you following the proper steps to attach the file? First, let’s make sure that you are following the correct process. Cross-check from the instructions given below:

Attach a file to Outlook in Windows

  • Click the ‘New’ option in your mailbox to compose a new email. Click on ‘Reply’ if you want to reply to a message.
  • Select ‘Attach file’ in the ‘include’ option of ‘Message’ ribbon.
  • Select the file from its location on the computer and click ‘Insert.’

OR

  • You can simply drag the file on the message body for making the quick attachment.

If you are following the above process correctly, let’s have a look at the possible reasons why you can’t attach a file in Outlook email with their respective solutions.

Outlook considers attachment file as Suspicious

Outlook considers some file extensions as malware and therefore restricts them as an attachment to save users’ systems. For this follow the steps:

  • Go to outlook.com and sign up for your account.
  • Click on the gear icon (locate it at the top right corner of your inbox.)
  • Select ‘More mail settings’ from the drop-down.
  • Under the ‘Writing emails’ option, click ‘Attachments.’
  • Select the radio button (small circle) in front of ‘Always send files as attachments.’
  • Click ‘Save.’

Try to attach the file after making changes. It will resolve your problem. You can also convert the file to Outlook compatible extension.

Another reason why attachments are considered suspicious is the content inside them. Yes, Outlook (actually all emailing services) scans the content of the attached document for spam. If your file contains any spam link or image, remove it and then try again.

File size exceeds Outlook Limit

The default Outlook limit for attachment files is 20MB. So, it is clear that any file exceeding this limit will not be accepted as an attachment. Consider dividing the file content to make smaller size files.

Selection Window goes to Background

The file selection window moves to the background and the user keeps on waiting for it. When one window is open in the background, you will not see anything no matter how many times you hit that ‘Attach file’ button. So, minimize all the tabs to find the selection window.

Still can’t attach files? Talk to experts at Outlook customer service for quick solutions. The number is toll-free and accessible all the time.

How to Fix Spam Filter Issue in Yahoo Mail

spam yahoo mail

SPAM emails are the most annoying email issues. It is impossible to deal with thousands of irrelevant emails coming to your inbox calmly. Especially if you receive them on a daily basis and it becomes a task to find work-related emails from the heap of junk emails.

Yahoo! Mail offers spam filters to reduce this issue. These filters directly send suspicious emails to the spam folder. However, sometimes these filters become problematic and don’t work as designed. This means spam emails are not transferred to the spam folder or important emails are sent to the spam folder. This creates difficulty for users as their inbox is filled with spam emails.

Yahoo support services provide some guidelines to ensure that filters work properly and emails are sent to the correct folders. So, try these solutions if you can’t find your emails in the correct folders:

How to Fix Yahoo Spam Filter Issue:

  1. Every email goes through the spam filter before moving to the next filter. So, if you can’t find your emails in your inbox or any other folder, check the spam folder.
  2. Check if you have created an empty filter (filter without rules.) In case this filter is at the top of all other filters, other filters’ rules will become void, and emails will be sent to the inbox.
  3. Create multiple filters sensibly. A filter uses all rules defined to separate emails, if any of the rules are not matched, the filter will not apply. So, if you want a filter to satisfy any of the two rules, create two separate filters.
  4. Another reason for a spam filter not working might be conflicting rules. Avoid using positive and negative phrases together in a filter.

Add Spam Filter to Emails In Yahoo Mail

  • In your Yahoo mailbox, right-click on the suspicious email.
  • Now, click on “Filter emails like this” to open the Add Filter window.
  • yahoo filter
  • Give a name to the filter, set rules.
  • Find “move the message to” option and select “Trash” from the drop-down. Click “Save.”
  • yahoo mail filter

Working with the above suggestions will help in resolving the spam filter issue. If not, you can search online for Yahoo Customer Care technical support and talk to experts about your issue.

Apart from the official Yahoo support service; there are various third-party service providers who offer effective and quick solutions for technical issues. Contact Email Support is one of such independent email support providers offering 24 hours services on all 7 days of the week.
