Is there a certain size jpeg to send pictures by email, my pictures come out worse quality after they are emailed. Thanks

The short answer is no - no specific size required as long as it is no greater than your email service allows. I use Yahoo and there's no degradation in quality. Which service do you use?

If you're worried, zip the jpeg and then send the zip file. That won't get degraded. Just check with the recipient in a separate email that they got it, since spam filters are more likely to flag an email with a zip file attached than if there is no attachment.
Skydrive, though, really should affect the image at all. Upload a file and then get it back from your Skydrive. Look at the file size by checking it's properties, and compare it to the original file, they should be identical.

I would hope that Outlook Express isn't the culprit, but that's more likely than skydrive.

Outlook Express is a mail program.
SkyDrive is an online storage/sharing site.
Are you posting your pictures to SkyDrive by email?
What are your image/attachment settings in OE?

The e-mail limitations on size are set by your provider. Get that information from them. We cannot help you on that one.
Once you know what the limitations are then we can try to help.
Otherwise, the best way to send a picture is not to e-mail but to post it where you get the best quality and send the link. That way you overcome all e-mail limitations.

Most service providers support >5MB for each email message, so if you consider the size of a full-res JPEG, sending one shouldn't be a problem. Of course, if you are sending 10 or 20 5MB JPEG files, and your ISP doesn't support it, then your message will simply not go out.
Since you are able to send, I'll assume it's not a size problem with your ISP. A good resolution size to send is 800x600, but I prefer to send 1024x768 or larger. Of course, these resolutions have a 4:3 aspect ratio, so if your camera shoots 3:2, then making them 800x600 will cause them to be cropped.
When you resize them, make sure you have the compression slider set to high quality (on a scale from 0-12, 10 is best or 90% on a percentage scale). Also, many folks neglect to sharpen their JPEGs after the resize, but it's a good practice to get into as well.
Lastly, I strongly encourage you to migrate to another safer email program.
