Cannot send attachments in Mail using .mac account, pop account is fine!

Within my Mail.app, I have 2 accounts: one is a .mac account, the other a pop account.
When I send attachments (jpg always and sometimes pdf) with the .mac account, they do not get encoded properly and my recipients cannot view them -- or they can view, say, 10% of the photo.
When I send the same attachments with the pop account, and within the same Mail.app, I do NOT have this problem.
Furthermore, if I send the attachment from my .mac webmail, I do NOT have the problem.
Does Mail.app have a problem with attachments sent via IMAP accounts?
I have tried Repairing Permissions, deleting the outbox.mbx (and emptying the trash).
Does anyone have any other suggestions? This is driving me crazy.
I am running Mail 2.0.5 on Tiger 10.4.3
Thanks a lot in advance, Neil

Hello Neil.
Does Mail.app have a problem with attachments sent via IMAP accounts?
None that I'm aware of.
The Mail.app uses MIME 1.0 for message/attachment encoding (which is the internet standard) for all email accounts.
Is your POP account and the SMTP server used for the account provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet?
If so, try selecting/using your ISP's SMTP server (the same SMTP server used to send mail via your ISP's POP account) to send mail via your .Mac account as a test.

  • Cannot send email from Mail through .mac account

    I have recently opened a .mac account and started using the email service. It works fine online however I am having difficulty sending messages through the Mail application in Tiger.
    Whenever I attempt to send a message, a dialog box appears saying "Cannot send message using the server smtp.mac.com".
    I have tried looking at the setting in preferences. I have deleted and .mac a/c setting in Mail and re-set them up, all the problem persists.
    Please help!

    Hello David.
    Who is your ISP used for connecting to the internet and are you accessing an email account snd SMTP server in Mail provided by your ISP?
    If so, can you send messages with the email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP?
    Most, if not all ISPs now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP used for connecting to the internet) on Port 25 which is the standard port used for SMTP servers. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
    These restrictions are part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
    Something to try.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings below for the .Mac SMTP server.
    Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
    Test if this resolves the problem.
    If not and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server in Mail that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

  • Cannot send attachments with mail

    All of a sudden I cannot longer send attachments using the Mail app in OS 10.8.4 
    Any attachment, any file, any type, using the iCloud server or my internet provider, Mediacom.
    Any help?
    Thanks.

    This may seem a bit basic, but it has worked for me in the recent past - have you quit Mail, relaunched it and tried again? Or, if that doesn't help, try again after restarting the Mac.

  • Cannot send emails from Mail- using yahoo email - please help!!

    I'm having major problems with my yahoo email in Mail. No matter what settings i seem to use, any emails i send take hours and hours to arrive. I seem to be receiving email, but cannot send- sometimes i get an error message, other times they go into sent box but take hours or days to arrive. i'm using a brand new imac version 10.5.2

    Hello Fred.
    If you’re sure your settings are exactly the same as on the computers where it works, here a couple of things that you may want to look at.
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
    Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
    Mail keeps information about outgoing servers in a separate list, independently of any specific mail account. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn’t be there. The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.

  • How send attachments to mail using oracle alerts

    Hi All,

    Thanks in Advance,

    As a workaround, you can kick start a custom workflow in actions rather than sending mail. In that custom workflow you can send attachments as part of the notification to the respective recipients.
    Thanks

    One more time, iCloud mail accounts are .me, .mac and .icloud. New ones are only .icloud.
    iCloud mail is a standard Imap account that can be used with any mail client in existence. But You are talking about the ability to automatically setup an iCloud account in mail, which did not exist until 10.7.2.
    You can use password or token authentification with iCloud mail (in Mail) it is your choice.
    Set the account manually, set it as Imap, use imap.mail.me.com (no P number) for the incoming email and smtp.mail.me.com as the outgoing server.
    The full settings (ports and security) are here. Use them and it will work, regardless of domain (mac, me and icloud addresses all use the same settings.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 993
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead. SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud. 
    For more information on how to use this information with your email application, consult your application's documentation.

  • I cannot send an e-mail for my 3GS iPhone using port 110

    I cannot send an e-mail for my 3GS iPhone using port 110; how do I find the right port? I have always used this port but now it does not work. I can send e-mails from my iPad using this port.

    The port is determined by your Email Service Provider. So first off, who is your email provider?
    Port 110 is not a standard port for sending. 25, 465 and 587 are the standard SMTP ports (sending) and 110, 143 and 995 are the standard POP/IMAP ports (receiving).

  • Cannot send an email from my alias Mobile Me account from the iPhone.

    I have a Mobile Me email account which works perfectly on my Mac and iPhone. I created a an Alias Mobile Me Account on the web.
    I am able to create a new email from the alias account on the Mac.
    The iPhone will not recognize the alias account, I cannot add it or sync the account.
    I cannot send an email from my alias Mobile Me account from the iPhone.

    To all frustrated MobileMe alias owners who want to send email from iPhone - please go to the feedback area of the apple.com and leave messages regarding this issue. I had a lengthy conversation with a tech support guy who agreed that this is a needed fix - he said to initiate a grass roots effort - and that by all of us leaving messages it will eventually get attention and fixed. Why would Apple give us the ability to create alias's, use them on mobileme website, on our mac mail programs, but NOT the iPhone, which is the MOBILE device. Silly. Please protest!! Thanks.

  • Cannot send or receive mail after installing iOS6 on iPhone4

    Cannot send or receive mail after installing iOS6 on iPhone4.
    All email accounts are still fine and not lost but ever since I installed iOS6 I cannot send any new email and I am not receiving either. That includes my Exchange, Yahoo  and Hotmail. I didn't loose any old email in my Inboxes.
    Can someone help please. thanks.

    I am having a similar problem.  I have iPhone 4 with the updated iOS6 and a Hotmail account.  Mail had been working after the update, but I noticed that wasn't really pushing my mail like it used to before the update.  I wouldn't get notifications after the update and when I open the Mail app, it would take much longer to download emails.  I decided to remove my Hotmail account and then re-add the account to the phone to see if that would fix the problem.  No such luck.  Now I have zero emails in my inbox on my phone when there is new email sitting in my Hotmail inbox on my laptop.  I've tried to delete and add the account multiple times now while rebooting the device and nothing changes...I've looked into other fixes mentioned here that say to change the settings on cellular date, airplane mode, push vs fetch, etc. and nothing is working.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • I can't send attachments with MAIL

    Please help me. Since I have installed Leopard, I have problems to send attachments by mail. People to whom I send, they don't receive them.
    Does anybody have any idea about to solve this trouble?
    Andrea from Italy

    so you look in your Sent folder and the email with attachment is shown as sent, and you do not receive an error message on your computer.
    then i would say it is purely a recipient error, and i am not sure how we can help on these pages not knowing what system they use or if on the web. do you have a friend to whom you can send an attachment that also uses a mac by any chance? does he/she receive the attachment fine, or no attachment either?
    hope this helps

  • Cannot send Email with Mail since updated to 10.7.2, they stay in my Send Box...

    Since I updated, I cannot send Email through Mail, it works with Thunderbird though.

    Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app.  I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send.  I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success.  Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem.  As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work.  So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem.

    I cannot send emails with pics using the stock email app on my new Droid Turbo, it holds them in the Outbox and won't send even if I move to Inbox and resend

    First check to make sure you have data turned on and not just Wi-Fi. From reading your question you seem to be saying e mail is working just not attached photos. What size are the photos as some HD photos can't be sent. Your camera may be set at a very high picture size and you can go to settings and lower the size and that may solve your mailing problem.
