Hotmail won't let me download this file?

Hey guys at the moment I'm just finishing up on my I.T course work.

I sent a lot of files from school to home to finish up. However I had a problem downloading 1 attachment.

Its a "mdb" file which can only be opened in Microsoft Access, i can't download it because its says:
"Windows Live Hotmail has blocked some attachments in this mail because they appear unsafe"

It displays the attachment file but I can't download it (when I move my cursor near the attachment logo it doesn't change into a little pointy hand to show it can be downloaded)

I try forwarding it to another account that will let me download the file but it prevents me from sending the attachment with it.

It's already half term and I can't send my work from school to the appropriate account. I really need help on this

(10 points for the best answer)

Many thnx!

Like I said I can't forward this email to another account as the attachment is not sent with it by default!

Your best bet is to probably contact the Windows Live Support staff.

Explain to them that you sent the file to yourself, and that it is safe and they should hopefully be able to release the file for you.

Next time you need to send files between computers you can use either Windows Live Skydrive http://skydrive.live.com or google docs http://docs.google.com

Hope this helps you

Unfortunately Windows Live Hotmail will have refused to accept that file on their servers. The only way to get the files are to obtain the original files as they were stored before they were sent in the email and send them to another account such as a Google Mail account. [ http://mail.google.com/mail ]

If you cannot access the original files then unfortunately you will be unable to use them on another computer.

You'll have to contact a classmate/tutor and get them to forward it to another account.


Good Luck
