Attached Mail Document - unable to return to mail
This has happened to me a couple of times and I'm looking for simpler solutions to a re-boot.
I open an attachment in mail (both times a PDF) and then close the iPad or go to another app. When I come back to mail it the document is what is displayed and none of the controls for the doc work including being able to hit the done button and go back to mail.
The two times this has happened I've re-booted the iPad and it comes back just fine. Is this an apps bug? Is there a simpler solution than the re-boot.
Thanks
GJM
If you have any app on your iPad that can open the attachment (e.g. Good Reader, DocsToGo), you can use that app to open the attachment rather than the Mail app's built-in quick viewer. This can avoid the "stuck in the quick viewer" problem with no "Done" button.
In the Mail app, just click-and-hold on the icon of the attachment. A small menu will pop-up giving you some options like:
Quick Look
Open in "DocsToGo"
Open In...
Click on any other option than Quick Look and open the attachment in another app. Seems to work fine for all types of attachments.

Native Mail app unable to get new mail after updating to iOS 5.0.1
Just after I installed 5.0.1 (OTA) I've noticed that native ios mail client is unable to get new mail messages anymore. I have three seperate mail accounts (Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud) connected to my iPad2 and none of them works after this software update. All I get is three seperate error messages (Cannot Get Mail) one after another for each account, same kinda of messages as you get once you try to open your Mail app with no internet connection, but this time it's not an issue as my iPad is connected to my home WiFi which is working just fine.
I've tried to restart my device, checked mail settings, made sure all the passwords are ok by typing them once again for all the accounts and I managed to get confirmation that they're ok with no difficulties using the same device.
All other apps that uses internet connection seems to be working with no problems as well.

Im having lots of bother with my Mac Mail I cant recieve or send it . On checking I noticed the incoming mail server box in my Account is blank and it refuses to let me type anything in it so stays blank . what can i do? help please.
Could I ask you to amend your signature - you can see why it's a good idea.
The first step for you would be to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud then sign back in again, enabling Mail and any other data types in the checklist there. This should set up Mail automatically for you - you shouldn't need to enter any settings yourself.
Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out, but will reappear when you sign back in. -
Can receive e-mails but unable to send e-mails (BES)
Hi everybody,
Whenever I send an e-mail I get this X sign and a message saying "Service Blocked". However, I can receive e-mails and it says Received As Desktop (Secure). I contacted Saudi Telecom and they assured me that my account is BES and they even showed me that in the screen.
I'm kind of lost, I tried all solutions but nothing worked for me. I have the 9000.
Many thanks for your support,Hello naserals
I can tell you with 100% certainty that you do not have to correct
plan for BES email. Contact your service provider and tell them you need to
have BES services provisioned on your account. If they say the
provisioning is correct tell them you want to talk to a supervisor because it
is not correct.

Error: Mail was unable to rename ....
I have a few mailboxes in On My Mac that contain a couple of levels of subfolders. I'm not having any trouble accessing messages in these mailboxes, but when I try to move or rename some of these folders I get an error message that says I'm unable to rename the mailbox. If I try to rename "Mailboxname" to "OtherName", for instance, I get the message:
Error: Mail was unable to rename "~Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Personal/Saved Mail/Archive/Mailboxname
While the error dialog is present, the display name of the folder in the sidebar changes to:
Mailbox "OtherName" does not exist
When I dismiss the error, the mailbox name reverts to Mailboxname.
Another oddity, sometimes, I'm unable to delete existing mailbox. I right click on them, select Delete Mailbox, confirm the deletion when prompted, and the mailbox is still there.
Any suggestions for how I can address this?
I've tried rebuilding the mailboxes that can't be renamed, and I've run the vacuum command in Terminal, but nothing seems to resolve the issue.My guess is that Folder 1 was seen as a white folder Icon in the Sidebar, before and after subfolder 1 went missing. As a white folder, Mail could see the items apparently still contained within it. Recreating the subfolder somehow allowed the display of content from the Messages folder, that apparently survived the previous delete operation. We would have been able to go into the Finder and see this, I think, but I also think you are very lucky.

Sorry. That should have been a heading and not the whole question. I am trying to figure out the question of iPad printing. If there was such a thing as a great little portable iPad printer maybe I would give my daughter one some day. But the printer I am using is working for me because I installed it as a network printer on my wired network. It does have WiFi capabilities but it does not have the 'Air' thing. It's an HP Officejet 4500 etc etc...My question is: will printing anything from her iPad always be as easy as she attaching a document to an email and mailing to herself on Yahoo which she can retrieve on any of 3 PCs in this house? I hope so - my computer budget is blown...

I can send but cannot recieve email
This is the messege I am gewtting:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The server returned the error: Service temporarily unavailableAlso if I go to system preferences accounts and re-enter the password it fixes the glitch sometimes.

Can I attach a document to an e-mail campaign sent from BC?
I am preparing an e-mail campaign for a client and wish to attach a document.
Previously I have uploaded the document into the media downloads module and inserted a link in the e-mail campaign to download the file.
I have a feeling that more people will view the document if it is sent as an attachment rather than as a download link (particularly on mobile devices)
How so I include attachments in my e-mail campaigns from within Business Catalyst (if it is possible)?
I realise I will loose tracking options by doing this.Attached files from an auotmated service - Instant block in most cases. Thats if you could, you cant in BC.
Your doing it the best way with the link and it also means you can track it. -

How to attach a document to a reply mail
I don't understand why a reply mail can't attach a file. how come Apple people have ignored such an essential feature!!!
While trying to open a file in "Mail" app from another app such as DropBox, Google Drive should have options to choose for making it a new mail (OR) a reply to a mail which exists in any mailing folder.
While trying to attach a file in Safari, it accepts only photos to attach and scribble but not even a "Note" or anything else. This is not a good idea. It should allow other apps to share their documents/files through Safari.
Please someone tell these Apple guys to not to ignore these important features which are essential for a mailing app.
Please share if you have any ideas on these issuesOn websites such as gmail.com or icloud.com/#mail one can attach any file that is browsable through the Finder.
I'm not sure, I couldn't attach a "Note" or any other Finder-browsable file either. It is asking only an image file but not anything else.
Also, you can attach files to a reply mail without any issue. Just reply to a mail and click the paperclip icon:
Even I couldn't find the attachment icon in Reply mail:
Are you sure that feature is available for iPhone 4S(iOS 8.1.2)?
Your question number 2 is so unclear
As we can open any file in Mail app to send it, is there any way to send that file in a new mail or a reply to a mail? -

Does any one know how to attach a document from your mail, while you are already in your e-mail, meaning not having to look for your file first and then open the e-mail.
Luis
Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
THE GOODREADER OPTION
1. CREATE the document you want to send.
2. SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
3. Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
4. COMPOSE your Reply.
5. DOUBLE TAP the message.
6. TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
7. OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
8. At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
9. TAP the Export button.
10. TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
11. TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
12. ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
13. SEND your email Reply.
The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
5 Select e-mail file
6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.
