Mail Mail Attachments are Gone

For the last few days more and more people are telling me that they aren't seeing the attachments I send out. It's very inconsistant except for the attached files were image fiiles...One was a .jpg and the other was a .tiff. Not very big at all...both were probably under a mb
Anyone else having this issue? If so, what the heck is going on?
Thank You!

Have you tried the "Notifications" pane in iCal? In the bottom left corner are three icons, one is like a small in-tray with an arrow pointing into it. Click on that and you should see notifications for the new appointments.
Select a calendar for them to be entered into (maybe you want to create a special calendar first or just put them in the "work" calendar) and you can then accept them tentatively or fully (or refuse them).
Now if someone can just tell me how to add a messge to the acceptance reply...

In mail attachments are not deleted even though mail is deleted

In mail attachments are not deleted even though mail is deleted

Check on your server to see what maiul options are selected. If your mail account is set to "download all attachments automatically", that may be an option you want to de-select.

E-mail Attachments are only allowing me to open in e-mail as opposed to PDF, PPT, GIF or any app that is relevant to the attachment.

E-mail Attachments are only allowing me to open in e-mail as opposed to PDF, PPT, GIF or any app that is relevant to the attachment.

Meaning if you use the "tap and hold down on the attachment" you are not getting the "Open In" option? Or should we just keep guessing about what might be happening?
If that is what is happening, deom the home screen .... quit the mail app completely in the recent tray by double tapping the home button to bring up the recents tray - and then tap and hold down on the mail app icon in the recent tray until it wiggles, then tap the red minus sign to quit the app. Restart the iPad and then try the "tap and hold down" on an attachment again.

Incoming mail attachments are getting corrupted.

I have a MacBook Pro that I just bought about a week ago. Most current OS and everything is up to date. Using the default mail client, all incoming attachments are somehow corrupted. PDFs throw an error saying the document appears to be empty. Word documents open, but actually are empty. When I grab the mail attachments via the web client (GMail), they are fine. They also work fine on Thunderbird on my Windows netbook. Any ideas?

This support area is really for the MacBook Pro hardware. I would suggest you go to the Mail.app discussion where there are really good experts on your issues. I'm sure you'll get a fast answer there. Also, you might want to do a search of the communities for your problem. I see lots of hits for corrupted attachments, but since I don't know your exact problem, I can't tell you which has the best answer.

All my iCloud mail aliases are gone!

I just checked Preferences in my iCloud Mail accound and discovered that all my three alieases disappeared! Before that I'd received notifications from several sites where one of them was registered that my emails were invalid. Then I checked the settings and found that I have 0 of 3 aliases!
I try to recreate one of them and the error poped up that the alias cannot be created.
Please help me with this problem, it's very urgent to me -- I'm left without half of my email correspondence and notifications!

I can still see my aliases on my iPhone and iPad, but now they are gone from my Mail on the Mac too... I've contacted Apple support chat, we tried different things playing with the settings but nothing helped. They promised to follow up on this and investigate it further. So I'm still without half of my email addresses.
It's very frustraiting and dissapointing. I rely very much on the Apple ecosystem and such failures are simply unacceptable.

Mail Attachments are resized or embedded.

Hi,
I'm a graphic artist and I am constantly sending attachments (jpgs, pngs, gifs, pdfs, psds) to clients through Apple Mail. Whenever clients with PCs receive my attachments they are embedded in the message or resized or squished. I am looking for a setting or a way to make it to where mail never resizes or embeds or changes the format of any jpeg, gif, psd, pdf, png or any other type of image file I send. I do know about the button in the bottom left of the new message window where you can select the small, medium, or large, however this button shows up only sometimes, perhaps only why I click the paperclip attach icon and not when I drag and attachment in. I feel like it should be consistent or there should be a way to turn this off, so I can send an attachment just like in any other normal mail client.

This isn't an issue with Mail, it's those people who are using a PeeCee and Outlook, which is set to render all email as HTML, even if it isn't. Apart from having your recipients set Outlook to treat everything as Plain Text, you should create .zip archives of the files you're sending and send those instead.

E-Mail attachments are shown as "undefined" since switching to Firefox 7.0.1

Since I switched to Firefox version 7.0.1, any attachments I add to an e-mail are shown as "undefined". If I look at the "Sent" e-mail, and click on "Attachments", I find them to be correct. This is very confusing when there are multiple attachments as I can't tell which have been attached and which remain to be attached. Firefox is my primary (default) browser. When I checked on Internet Explorer 9.0, the attachments were properly identified, so I know this is a Firefox and not a Verizon problem.

Mail accounts are gone

I'm really hoping someone can help with this issue so I don't have to go through months of mail again.
I was running Mail.app and it started behaving strangely. I was sending an email and it complained about the (SMTP Auth) password for the outgoing server. I entered the correct password a few times but it still kept on asking. I went into the smtp server settings and it showed the server as offline. I opened those settings and entered the correct password there directly. As I did this, I noticed that every account except iCloud seemed to be having these problems and as I messed with the settings, each one disappeared from the selection list when I had an outgoing email open. At this point Mail was asking me for passwords for all of my accounts, except iCloud. Interestingly enough, before all this started it should a connectivity problem for iCloud but never asked me for passwords.
So I quit Mail and opened it up again and all of my accounts (about 5 or 6) except iCloud were gone. No inboxes and accounts not showing in the preferences. Prevoius mail is gone too, even from folders I'd moved mail into.
~/Library/Mail/V2 still shows all the mailboxes for the accounts.
I've tried restoring these entire trees from various points in the last 24 hours of time machine backups:
~/Library/Mail
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Makes no difference. I even tried going back 4 days and got the same results.
One strange thing I noticed is that in ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData the Accounts.plist has a date of August 25, 2012. Is that file simply not used anymore or did it get restored back to a really old version for some reason I am not aware of. I have not done any TM restores in a while so I am pretty sure I didn't do this inadvertantly. If I look back through TM for the last month, it always has that same data, so presumably it hasn't changed.
I opened the com.apple.mail.plist file in XCode and I can't see any account info in there, so it would seem to be stored somewhere else.
Any ideas?

I tried one more time restoring these two file trees:
~/Library/Mail
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
The Accounts.plist which supposedly contains the list of accounts still has the same 2012 date. When I did this it went through the splash screen that says it is importing mailboxes, but only imported iCloud related ones.
Interestingly enough, I had previously (after the problem occured) added back two of the missing accounts manually. Those are still there. But I restored the files from before when I added those back.
Clearly it is storing the list of accounts somewhere other than those two locations. But where?

PDF e-mail attachments are missing/New osx

Some do not receive any pdf attachments with the e-mail i send. I do have the windows friendly checked when attaching the attachment. Any suggestions?

After Leopard Grahpics update-All my Mail accounts are gone

Oh man,did the software update as offered.Now,Mail launches,only has some .mac account on it(didn't before,Both my main mail boxes have dissapeared!,They are not in my Library/mail folder and even worse Time machine doesnt seem to have them either!!. Any ideas? Anyone seen this before.thanks

not insulted at all.I can hardly believe it myself.Yeah initially I checked in user/library/mail on the system drive,both my accounts were litterally gone.So I went into Time machine and it seemed to freeze,got out of that and went into the time machine disk itself and in all those user/library/mail,both accounts missing.Here's the stranger bit.I remade my accounts in Mail,and after they were added and made active all my old mail messages were suddenly in the inbox BUT when I click on one of those messages I get a blank email..no text.. just the subject only .This was the same for both accounts.So .it leaves me wondering where those headers are stored as the full messages are now gone.and how the accounts got deleted where before installing the graphics update and the ilife update I think it was,all my mail was just fine.thanks

Mail files are gone gone gone

Its gone. everything. Yesterday I kept getting the dreaded triangle that said I could not go on line to get my email (I monitor 4 different accounts) and it kept trying to use mobileme to access all my accounts instead of my usual accounts. So after rebooting and rebooting and leaving it off all night, I turned it on this morning and everything is GONE. It logs into my mobileme account (which we never use and will let expire in two days) and all my accounts, their emails, the folders, everything is gone. Can somebody tell me where it might be? There is absolutely nothing in my email "preference" tab other than this stupid mobileme information and one lousy email from mobile me that says "reminder, your account will expire in 2 days"

Well I managed to find that all the storage of the mailboxes was there but shoved to the side by this mobile me thing. I deleted the mobile me account information from my mail preferences and see that all my old email account incoming and outgoing stuff was erased. Pain as also all my signature info blocks are wiped clean as well (and I have them in two languages depending on who I am writing to and from which account). A lot of work for a simple glitch. But I was more worried about the previous files. Once I deleted the mobileme account from the email preferrences, the other files showed up under the tab ON MY MAC which I couldn't access before with the mobileme account present.
As for Time Machine, I have tried to use it before and it keeps telling me there is an error and fails so I gave up working with it. Everytime I clicked on the app file, it went into the set up mode, asked me if I wanted to turn it on, then went into error. I get frustrated extremely easily as anyone can tell from my other posts. Right now the time machine icon in the tool bar has the "!" in the center so I know it has failed again as the message is the same one I have had since I got this new machine.
But to this topic of my email, I did manage to find it and it thankfully wasn't completely wiped clean, thank you very much for your direction. I just have to reenter all my email account information all over again including my incoming mail sounds.

With Yahoo! Mail attachments are put together in zip format I can't open, but when I switch to Internet Explorer these same attachments open easily as Word or PDF files; how cn I fix?

Two recent emails (Yahoo! Mail) each contained multiple attachments which were presented to me as zip files which were in a format that my computer could neither open or convert to files I could open. One was two Word documents; the other was five one-page PDFs. I tried with Firefox on two different computers with same results. When I switched to Internet Explorer, I was able to open the attachments each as separate Word or PDF files, with no trouble. Am I doing something wrong?

instead of writing such an essay, you could have explained better what you tried to do to get them.

HELP!! All my INBOX & SENT mail messages are gone!!

Help somebody help please...
my 17 inch powerbook is acting up... last week, i experienced problems with my applications... all the applications wouldn't start, so i reinstalled OS/X and backed up everything (thank god)
worked fine for a while..
then...
today when i open up my mail.. it was cool for a while..
.then all of a sudden... all the messages in my INBOX and SENTMAIL could not be read!!
all it said when i click on any message is..
"The message from fois design <[email protected]> concerning “Foi's Promo” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
we're talking about over 3000 messages in my inbox and 2000 over in my sent box. all displaying the same message!!
however the strange thing is, the messages in my JUNK and other archive folders are fine.. the messages are still displayed.
Has anyone ever experienced this? can someone help me please?

Beside your inbox and Sent folders (on the right side) is there a triangle?
If there is, click the triangle to go "online"
If it is not there, and you did have messages for awhile, I suggest trying the rebuild option if you haven't already done so. You can do that by click on Mailbox -> Rebuild
Alternatively (if this is an IMAP account), you could delete the account and re-add it.

"Large" Mail Attachments are Too Small in Yosemite

Since using Yosemite (10.10.1), when I attach a photo to a Mail (8.1) message, and then choose one of the options to change the Image Size from Actual Size to Large, the photo shrinks way too much. For example, an 8.4 MB .jpg file shrank to 285 KB when selecting the Large option. Before Yosemite, the reduction was not as much, and the resulting image was far more useful to the recipient. These are practically thumbnails. How can I adjust the size of "Large" Image Sizes to make them bigger?
I have not found any other reports of this problem. I recall once learning how to change the size of the Quartz filters used to reduce Preview images, and I image something similar is going on.

In Thunderbird 31, the Nested Mail Lists are gone !

I've changed from Netscape to Thunderbird 2 or 3 years ago. And the 2GB problem in folders size disappeared. And Thunderbird(2010-2011) worked perfectly using the same data profile as Netscape. I'm an openSUSE user, on a x86_64 workstation.
My address book uses for 10 years now **Nested Mailing Lists**.
In such a Lists I have 2 or 3 "SubLists", plus individual emails, etc.
after the last update to "Thunderbird 31" the address book **refuses all my nested lists**, saying, for example :
SubList <SubList> is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
then I tested on a different nested list ans it's clear : NOW THUNDERBIRD REFUSES ANY SUBLIST IN A LIST
IT WORKED PERFECTLY TILL NOW

Always?
Fill in one address, press return. Does a To: button not appear in the next line down.
</blockquote>
Yes, the To: button does appear in the next line down, but that is not my question. Let me clarify.
On each addressee line, there is the identifier, To:, then there is a space to fill in the addressee's e-mail name and address. Between these two elements, in the previous version of Thunderbird, there was a small round symbol (I don't know what it would be called). Clicking on that symbol would select the entire addressee. That symbol is gone in the new version.
