Sending files

I want to send files (eg PDFs) when they are still open using my old address
(and not having to create a new hotmail address) in Windows 7 Mail. Adobe
says that it is unable to connect to my email account.. (sigh)

I don't understand.
Why would you have to create a new Hotmail address?
There is no such animal as "Windows 7 Mail".
Why would Adobe need to "connect" to your email account?

Are you using Adobe Acrobat, and trying to email from within that program?
I don't have it, so I can't look.
I presume that it would simply use the default email program.
What do you normally use for email?
Is it set up and working?

I'm having the same problem. When I installed Windows Live Mail, and try to
"Send to Mail Recipient", I get a message that "Adobe cannot connect with
your mail account".

Are you trying to do that from Acrobat?

If you save the PDF file, then in Windows Explorer Right click the PDF
file and select Send To, Mail Recipient does that work? If so it's
likely Acrobat requires a Full MAPI mail client. WLM is only a Simple
MAPI mail client. Or it means that Acrobat wants to bypass your mail
client and send directly to your mail account's SMTP mail server. In
that case, you need to properly configure Acrobat for your mail account.
That the error message says "mail account" rather than "mail client"
suggests that.

If it also fails from Windows Explorer, then you need to make sure that
WLM is set as your default mail client

In Windows XP: Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Set Program Access
and Defaults, Custom, Email and select WLM, even if it already seems to
be the default.

In Vista: Control Panel, Programs, Default Programs, Set Program Access
and Computer defaults. Select WLM, even if it already seems to be the
default.
