OneDrive is temporarily unavailable - Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8CCCD052

I too am having same problem. Two days ago I sent a few photo emails and all was ok but today it comes up with the above error message. Have tried on my other computer and it too wont let me. Seems it is happening to everyone all of a sudden. If I send a email and "attach" photos or "insert" it will go through but not other way. I go to my photo albums, click on photos I want to send and click on "email" and it goes to my emails to add addresses. I use windows live mail also. This has not happened before, very frustrating.  Please help me fix this

Hi upquark,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Based from your post, you are getting an error message when sending a photo album using Windows Live Mail. Let me assist you with this.

In order for us to determine the root cause of this issue, please provide us the following information:

• Are you able to access your OneDrive accountusing a web browser?
• Are you able to share files directly from your OneDrive account using the share options?
• Are you able to send a simple email using your Windows Live Mail?
• When sending an email using Outlook.com via this link: https://mail.live.com with photos attached from your OneDrive account, are you able to do this?
• When you said "When I look at the OneDrive folder i see lots of "test 2 112220 PM" type subfolders.", are you referring to your OneDrive folder via Windows Explorer or via a web browser?

We are looking forward to your response.

Regards,

Grace

I am also having the exact same problem trying to add a Photo album to an email on Windows Live Mail.

This just started  (Windows Update installed lots of updates yesterday)

I tried the to send the pictures again from my work computer, and I still got the same exact error message. Being that I have tried on two different computers, and 3 separate email accounts, I am thinking that the error is being generated at the Microsoft end.
