I have a little trouble with hotmail as sometimes there appears to be a time out issue while I am still writing my emails as when I send the email sometimes a vague error message is displayed indicating that the email cannot be sent and there is nothing visibly wrong with the email address format or the content, so it is assumed to be a threading or a network connection problem (e.g. when I select send somehow the server rejects the email as invalid without a specific reason.

The only problem I have with this is that I have to copy and paste the email to notepad and re-write it again and this can be inconvenient if I am using a mobile device for example as I wouldn't have access to the same functionality and applications that I have on my laptop or pc.  I tend to use Google Chrome as my preferred internet browser.

What I notice is that then emails are automatically saved in the drafts and I delete them but I am not sure this behaviour is consistent so I would like a clarification on how the sending mechanism works, and, also how tracking plugins may be included and how email can be digitally signed without external plug-ins as I get a lot of negative feedback (particularly from government officials who are untrusting of emails for this or that re

Hi,

From the description, you are using the Hotmail account from webmail access, correct? Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook desktop application, if your problem is related to Hotmail, I'd recommend you post a new question in the Outlook.com Community forum:
