How to send more photos in an email

Use Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Live Mail to send more images in one email

Email multiple photos
Using Windows Live Photo Gallery is far more effective than sending photographs as email attachments

Windows Live Photo Gallery lets you email far more photos in better quality than you could manage by sending them as attachments. You need to use Windows Live Mail as your default email program. Click on the menu button, Options and then Mail. Click on Make Default if Live Mail is not the default Mail handler. Sign in to Windows Live Mail with your Live account as well.

Start Live Photo Gallery and click on the Sign in button in the Ribbon. Select the images you want to send by clicking in the small box at the top-left corner of the photos in the main view. Click on Photo Email next to the Sign in button in the ribbon. The photos are uploaded to Microsoft Skydrive and links sent to the recipient – these are valid for three months.
