My friend has sent me quite alot of pictures (see picture) to my hotmail email account and I was wondering whether there is a way I can download them all at once instead of one by one cause theres just too many

Not that I know of.

Hmm, I'm not sure of any way to do this from within Hotmail itself, but I use Outlook Express to read my hotmail emails and there's an option in that to save attachments (which brings up a list of the attachments, lets you browse to save folder etc).

If you can access your Hotmail inbox from something like Outlook Express you could try it, however I think only older accounts that can do this (someone correct me if i'm wrong). Could be worth a try though...

I tried to use outlook express but It keeps saying it cant connect to hotmail

Those files aren't too big. So why not ask the person who sent them to zip them up and re-send it?

It would save all this hassle. A lot quicker!!!

I dont even understand why somebody would send so many files

There's almost always a way to mass-download stuff like this... I do it all the time.

I'm not familiar with Hotmail though... what happens when you click the links? Do they go directly to the JPEG files, or is there some intermediate page?

You could try using Firefox with the DownThemAll extension...

You could use Windows Live Mail Desktop. It has an option to save all attachments.

I click them and they go to a page which does a virus check and then I have to click download. Thats why it would take alot of time to do them one by one
