MSN Mail account is not just a platform to send text messages; it also lets you send files and documents to others. Used widely for both home and official purposes, MSN Mail is a great way to share important official documents and files to your boss or photos to your friends and family through email. However, some MSN Mail users have reported problems while trying to send an attachment in a mail with the MSN Mail account. If you are also experiencing an issue when trying to send an attachment via email from your MSN Mail account, this guide can help you fix the problem quickly and easily. Here are the steps:

Steps to Fix File Attachment Issue in MSN Mail Account

1.) File Size is too Big

Due to security concerns, MSN Mail puts a cap on the size of the file that can be sent via email. So, you need to make sure that the size of the attachment which you are trying to send via MSN Mail is not exceeding the size permitted. To send such files, it is recommended to send them either via Skype or OneDrive.

2.) Title of the File

If the title of the file or attachment that you are trying to send contains special characters like !@#$%^, you will not be able to attach them in your email. It is best to remove such characters from the attachment and then try attaching them back to the email.

3.) Flash Missing

When trying to attach a file in your email, you need to make sure that you have Flash installed in your computer system. And also ensure that it is not being blocked on your computer. If you are using Internet Explorer as your default web browser, make sure that it is not in offline mode.

4.) Security Programs

Your computer’s Firewall settings, Antivirus, and Internet Security programs can also cause trouble attaching a file in the email. Try attaching the file after disabling the program (one at a time). If you find any of the programs causing trouble, exclude MSN Mail from that program.

Note: Excluding any application or program from the Security programs will make them vulnerable to viruses and malware.

5.) Add-ons or Plug-ins

Add-ons or Plug-ins can also cause attachment failure in MSN Mail. Try attaching the file after deactivating such Add-ons or Plug-ins (one at a time) and check if this fixes the problem.

Recover your BLOCKED MSN account:

To UNBLOCK your account, you need to verify the identity as well as the ownership of the blocked account to Microsoft. Verification usually is completed by sending a security code to the alternate email address or to the mobile number via Microsoft. If somehow you don’t have a phone or you are unable to receive the text alert sent via Microsoft, you are most welcome to use any other mobile number of your family members or friends. Microsoft never saves the mobile number for your privacy concerns.

• You must log on to https://account.microsoft.com/

• Sign-in to your blocked account.  
• Enter a mobile number to get the security code. You can any mobile number of your choice which is able to receive the text messages.
  
• The moment text alert arrives; enter the same into the webpage.
• You must change the password to unblock your account. You must choose a password that is completely unique from the last password. Choose a very strong password and never use straight words that are available in the dictionary. You must include upper cases, lower cases, along with the numbers and the special characters like (!@#$%), etc.

Common problems with the security code:

The instant way to unblock your MSN account is by requesting the security code and entering it right away on the webpage. If you didn’t receive the security code then, you must try again or try with another mobile number. Sometimes it can take a while; make sure that there is proper network coverage. If the security code doesn’t work then verify that you have entered the code from the body of the message, not the code which is there on the header of the message.
