Need help sending pictures by email..

...Never had this problem before, but today I have it. I looked at pictures stored in Picassa before I went on the internet. Found the one I wanted to send, and then hit the section of Picasa that says "Email the picture" I filled in my email address, and then my correct password. ..All I got was "cannot access account information"..I have never had trouble sending my photos before, but today it doesn't seem to work.
Yes, I have sent them in the past with no trouble. But today, for some reason the system is not working..Any ideas at all?
... I retried the account at gmail, not from the picassa folder, but from the account itself without the picture, on the internet,.and email went through..Any ideas? Perhaps I am doing something wrong..I don't know what? It has worked before..Maybe my computer is screwed up...But, I you can read this email sent from Illinois to wherever DU machines are located, something must work..
...I do want to send the pictures in my Picasa folder. I got 2000 pictures from locations like Tokyo, Maine, Florida etc.etc.etc. Please help if you can. Thank you for any ideas at all..And thank you for the time you took in posting those ideas..

anything about a "flash drive." I will look it up, and I know I don't have one. I work this computer and that is about all I do.

...and..Thank You for the idea, and your post... I will try to lean about "flash drive"

that adversely effected some/many third-party apps.

Your best bet is to export the images to your hard drive, then attach them to emails using the GMail app or website.

Depending on how many pictures you want to share, and how big the images are, you might be better off putting the images on a photo sharing site then emailing the URL to your friends and family.
