How do you normally send email? Why not use that?

However, that many photos will most likely be too large to send via one
email.
Most email servers have a limit of 2 to 10 MB file size.
A few, like Gmail and Hotmail Plus, have a 20 MB limit.
If you want to send a large file, you can't use email.

You might try Live Mesh...

Or, upload to a file sharing site, like:

http://www.dropsend.com
http://www.sendthisfile.com
https://www.thebigsend.com

It is highly unlikely that you will be allowed to send 466 pictures
at once, due to mail provider limitations on message size.
Why not put the pictures up on a photo sharing site, like
http://www.flickr.com or http://www.shutterfly.com .

I see you posted with a Yahoo email address. Is that your
only email address? US-based free Yahoo accounts have webmail access
only, no POP access. Windows Mail handles POP mail but not Yahoo webmail.
Yahoo's solution is to pay for premium "Mail Plus" service:

and use the special settings for that service:

If you are OK with using a non-Yahoo email address, you have these other
solutions that will work with Windows Mail:
* Use the email address assigned to you by your ISP.
* Use a free Gmail, AOL, or Hotmail/Live account.

If you need more help with any of these solutions, just ask.
