2 Question: Check mail on launch/Save Attachments

Hello all.
I have 2 Questions about Mail 2.0.5 in Tiger:
1.Start Checking Mail upon Launch
I have set Mail to check for new mail every 5 minutes, but everytime when I first launch Mail, I have to manually click on 'Get Mail' for the 1st email check, is there a way to start checking email when launch?
2.Save Attachments into a pre-designated folder
How do I save attachments into a folder? Do I set a new Rule with this?? Insides Rules, the closest I can find is "Any Attachment Name", but I don't know how to set this up?
In Entourage, there is 1 rule with Attachments easily set up to move them into another folder or something...
Thanks and cheers

I have a similar issue. I have had Leopard installed for a few months with everything working fine. A few days ago mail stopped working. Mail appears on the desktop but crashes after beginning to bring accounts online. Does anyone know what could be wrong.

  • Feature Request:  Setting to NOT check mail on launch

    Using the Mail on the iPhone virtually locks up the device until it is done checking mail. In Settings, you can set Mail to check Manually. However, every time I launch the Mail application, it checks mail automatically.
    I'd like to request a setting for the Mail application to NOT to check for new mail upon launch, making it truly manual only.
    If this were done, I would use the iPhone for email more regularly. For example, if I need to send a quick email, I have to wait until Mail checks for new emails before it will allow me to type a new email. This can take several minutes.
    Thanks for listening.

  • HT5815 10.8.5: no fix for Mail failure to save attachments in rich text

    How hard is it to do 14 months after ML launched? The fault even goes back to Lion I believe. Pathetic. This discussion refers: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22797910#22797910. I bet the battery level indicator isn't fixed either.

    It is always best not to wait 14 months, or any length of time, before asking a question. I have no problem saving attachments in rich text from Mail. And I haven't even updated my machine to 10.8.5 yet.
    I also don't know what is wrong with the battery level indicator.
    This is a user-to-user support forum. Many of those users are flat out wrong. I'm sorry if you have been led to believe there is some bug with saving e-mail or battery icons and waited 14 months for a bugs fix that never arrived. I suggest starting start from the beginning and describe the problems you are experiencing.

  • How do I save attachments with an E Mail?

    How do I save attachments with an E Mail?

    Hover the mouse at the top of an email with an attachment, in the area shown in the image below, and it should reveal the attachments icon - select it and download the attachments to wherever you wish on your HD.

  • "Save attachments" button in Mail has disappeared

    My "Save attachments" button in Mail (6.6/1510) disappeared the other day. It has always been there, sitting on the dividing line between message header and message content. But now it's gone. All of a sudden.
    Sure, it becomes visible if I select detailed header info, but it should be there even with the simplified header view. At least it has been up to a few days ago.
    Any tips on how I get it back? It's a bit annoying to select detalied header info each time I want to save attachments. Dragging and dropping is no option for me, since part of what I want is to se a list of all attachments. The "Save" button provides that feature.

    First of all, in the Compose window, click on View and see if Show Toolbar is available as a Command? If so, click on it.

  • Any way to have Mail save attachments with proper creation dates?

    Whenever I save attachments from Mail they end up with both creation and modification dates that are the time that I saved them out of Mail. I would rather have it be the original dates of the file (if possible) or at the very least the date the email was received. Any way to do this?

    Thank you Mulder...
    So there doesn't appear to be any way to have saved attachments have the correct date...
    Do you (or anyone else) have a favorite utility for quickly setting creation and mod dates for files in OS X? That way I can save the files and then edit them by hand if necessary.

  • Mail in Lion cannot save attachments in rich text format

    I used to be able to save attachments in Mail with Snow Leopard if the "Include Attachments" option is selected and the mail is saved in rich text firmat. When I open the saved files using TextEdit, the attachments are included. However, I just discovered it is no longer the case with Lion, even with the "Include Attachments" option being selected. No attachments are saved with the text. Appreciate any enlightening suggestions. Thanks.

    I share your problem........desperate to find a solution!

  • Mail message "Save as..." doesn't save attachments when "include attachments" is ticked

    Mail message "Save As..." doesn't save attachments when "Include Attachments" is ticked for "Rich Text Format"
    Messages are supposed to be saved as rtfx files (actually folders that include the attchments in seperate files)
    It worked fine in 10.6
    How do I submit a bug report?  I have sent several request through the "Provide Mail Feedback" link since 10.7 - no joy.
    Thanks

    You can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

  • Automatically save attachments in Mail?

    Tried Automator, as well as Rules in Mail, but I can't figure out how to automatically save attachments in emails sent by certain clients. When an email arrives from a client and the email has attachments, I'd like Mail to automatically save any and all attachments to the default downloads folder. Is this possible using either Mail's Rules or Automator? Rules does have an option for running an AppleScript, but I'm no longer up to speed on AppleScript. I'm hoping for a simpler solution.
    Thanks!

    If it is going to be called from Mail rules, it would need to be wrapped properly. Here is the script it came from. You would'nt need the on run handler.

  • Attachment size - Mail cannot send email attachments over 1.5Mb

    Had this issue with Mac mail for well over a year now.
    Mac Mail, connected to Exchange server.
    Mac Mail cannot send attachments over about 1.5Mb. This does fluctuate, sometimes its as low as 600Kb.
    It seems to be related to the internet speed you have, Slower internet connections and attachment size you are able to send goes down, faster speed and it allows bigger attachments to be sent.
    Im assuming its some kind of time out issue.
    With Windows and Outlook on the same internet connection = NO PROBLEM AT ALL!
    This means its not an exchange only problem, its specific to mail and exchange.
    I have several friends all switched over to Apple in the last 2 years and ALL having the same issues and despite logging several calls with Apple and trying everything they have suggested still no fix.
    I have searched around and it seems lots of people are having similar issues all with no resolution to this.
    Please can someone suggest anything new that might resolve this, im happy to try anything!

    @Brooksymj
    We had a similar problem - but we had one Mac which had been migrated from and old G5 Tiger to a new Intel iMac Snow Leopard and no problems existed (all size attachments send), so we checked out what was different about that machine's mail.plist preferences.  We spotted some obvious ones that didn't exist on a clean install of Snow Leopard, so added them, which worked for us, as follows...
    1/ get Pref Setter (www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html)
    2/ quit Mail and launch Pref Setter
    3/ find com.apple.mail and double-click it
    4/ click once on any one of the entries without an expansion triangle
    5/ click on Actions and select Add New Array
    6/ call the new array DeliveryAccounts (no space)
    7/ with DeliveryAccounts highlighted, click Actions and select Add New Dictionary
    8/ leave the default name of Item 1
    9/ with Item 1 highlighted, click Actions and select Add New Key
    10/ call the new key MaxMessageBytes (no spaces)
    11/ change MaxMessageBytes class to Integer
    12/ set the value to the maximum individual message size permited by your exchange server
    (ours is 50MB = 52428800)
    This also worked on my mbp with Lion.
    Hope this works for you!

  • Changing "Mail Downloads" folder for attachments

    It seems in Leopard Mail, when you double click an attachment to open it, it is temporarily saved to ~/Library/Mail Downloads. This is in contrast to (I think) Tiger, where it would be saved to the Downloads folder set in the General preferences. There is still a setting for the Downloads folder in the General preferences, and according to the help window, it is to "Specify the folder in which to temporarily save attachments you open from a message". To me, that means the same as the Tiger behavior. However, if I change this preference to, say, "Desktop", it seems opening an attachment (not explicitly saving it) still saves it to the ~/Library/Mail Downloads folder, not the assigned folder. Is this the correct behavior? If so, the help window is misleading. Personally, I would like the option to change this folder, although I suppose there are workarounds such as changing the Mail Downloads folder to an alias of the desired destination folder.
    thanks.

    Ok, so much for that clever workaround. Doesn't work, Mail just throws up an error and refuses to save the attachment. Any other ideas? I just want Mail to auto-save opened attachments onto the Desktop, in case I forget to explicitly save it, and so I don't have to root into subfolders to find it.

  • Default to "view as icon" in Mail.app messages (with attachments)

    Hello,
    Other than using Mail Attachments Iconizer (http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer), does anyone know of a way to default mail.app to "view as icon" when adding attachments to messages?
    Working in print design, we're always sending PDFs and images and it's a little annoying when you have a large (in dimension, not bit size) attachment and it just takes over your message.
    Thanks,
    Kristin.

    Hello!
    Your English is great.
    There is no default setting for this in Mail but check Mail Attachments Iconizer.

  • After upgrading to Safari 6.0 (running 10.7.4), when launching Safari, Mail also launches.  How do I disable Mail from launching simultaneously?

    Whenever I try to open only Safari, Mail automatically launches.  I cannot seem to figure out how to stop it from doing this.  I am certain that this is not about programs launching at login.  It only began after I did the Safari 6.0 update.  I cannot find anything in preferences on how to stop Mail from launching. 

    Read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
    Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
    Step 1
    In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the Safari icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder.
    Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
    Caches/Metadata/Safari
    Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
    Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
    Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
    Step 2
    If you still have problems, quit Safari again.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    rm -fr $TMPDIR../C/com.apple.Safari
    Quit Terminal. Launch Safari and test.
    Step 3
    If Safari still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
    Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
    Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
    PubSub/Database
    Safari
    (Note: you are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”)
    Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings and bookmarks will be lost.
    If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that will have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
    If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
    Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each step to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
    If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

    Hi,
    have a look into this thread where similar issue is discussed
    Re: Mail adapter- Attachment file name of scheme ddmm
    If the requirement is just to have the dynamic name for your email attachment, it can be done using mail package. check this wiki
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SI/DynamicEmailAttachmentnameforReceivedMails
    we have to choose the options 'use mail package' and 'keep attachments' in the receiver email adapter.
