710: Can't open/save email attachments. Please hel...

Hello!
I am brand new to the Nokia 710 and I have my AOL email account linked up to the phone. I am able to send and recieve emails just fine.
My problem is that when I try to open/download any attachments like a Word or PDF document that are in the emails, they never open. They start to open but never do. I can open these attachements on my old Palm Pixi rather quickly and without any trouble so I know it is not the files that are the problem.
I've searched both this USA forum and the UK one and didn't see anyone else with the same issue... so did I not set up something properly with the phone?
Many thanks.

Sorry to take a little while to respond back. I had to open a Yahoo account and then send an email with attachments to it and open the account on the Nokia phone to test it...blah, blah, blah...
The outcome... Yahoo works. Very quickly too. I tested two Word Docs and a JPEG.
I also set up a personal email account I have from a register.com domaine name (an IMAP, have no clue what that means) on the phone to test and... I can open the documents and the photo as well.
So, my question is why is it not working with AOL???
I know I'm and old dinosaur and it shows my age that I still use AOL and all, but I would hate to have to switch email addresses now just because I can't open attachements on this phone.
Any clues?

Can't open PDF email attachments from mail app. (iOS7, iPad2)

Since upgrading to iOS7 I cannot open PDF email attachments from the "Mail" app. The attachment appears as a "tap to download" icon, after downloading it appears as an image of the first page of the PDF. An extended press of the PDF image results in "save image" and "copy" options, but no "open in" option.
I have tried closing and re-opening mail, restarting the iPad, several different attachments. Still no "Open in" option.
Any help with this?

I work in a support organization and we've seen variations of this issue develop on various iphones and ipads with ios7. Oddly, not everyone is experiencing this, just some people.
In my own case, I simply downloaded Acrobat Reader for free and can read the things fine.
We use an exchange activesync email server and when each email comes in it indicates at the very bottom that it has been downloaded as plain text and to click to download the entire message. I've tried clicking to download and not clicking and I can read the PDF either way.
In my own case I can view PDF files and/or also save them by pressing and holding the icon of the PDF in the email.
The other thing one of our end users noticed: if she emailed the PDF directly to her iPhone5 and iPad it would not be readable but if she forwarded it to her offsite Yahoo account and then forward to her corporate email it would open.
I think there's definetely something going on with the formatting of the PDF (was it created by a true Adobe PDF distiller or one of the many clones?), what email application attached it? (Outlook, Eudora, IOS Mail, etc) and how many PDF reading apps are on your IOS devices?
For instance I have the default PDF reader, iBooks, Kindle, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and there may be others that I don't even know has PDF capability. Only Apple probably has a good idea of how many apps utilize this.

Adobe 2.0 Can't Open PDF Email Attachments

Hi. I am using WM5 on an HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125). I installed Adobe 2.0 for viewing PDF's and it works great. The only problem I have is that I get an error every time I try to view a pdf that is an email attachment.
When I open an email with a pdf attachment, I tap the attachment and Adobe 2.0 starts up. I then get the following errors:
"The file is damaged, but is being repaired"
"There was an errror opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
If I try to save the pdf attachment and then view it I get the same two errors listed above.
If I copy the pfd attachment from my PC to the device I can open it, but I suspect that is because some type of file conversion has taken place.
Should I be able to view pdf attachments on my device using adobe 2.0 or will the pdf attachments always need some type of coverting before I can view them on my device?
Adobe 2.0 works great, but so far I am unable to view pfd email attachments.
Thanks for the help.
Rob

>>> The .pdf must be transferred from a PC into the mobile device folder and conversion must take place in order to view the file on the mobile device. <<
There are likely a number of ways which will render pdf's non viewable on ppcs... some thoughts on this specific issue;
The activesync "plugin" is a "tagger" subject to failure... if the file can't be directly opened from the file menu of ppc reader, it is likely another problem.
ppc reader is acrobat 5... most pdf's are created with "backward compatibility" but it's also possible that the original generator specified acrobat 6 or 7
The "file associations" are often wrong with respect to pdf files... attachments apparently have another level of file association, so, before making any conclusion, save the file to the "My Documents" folder, start reader and open the file using the ppc reader's file menu.
>>> it would be nice if Adobe and Microsoft could put their heads together to straighten this out. <<
Remember something said long ago about "when pigs fly" ;-) ...we are on our own as there is zero evidence that anyone from adobe even reads these posts, and then you have to couple that with the fact that reader users are not adobe's customers... they have almost zero incentive to address ppc reader problems... wanna do something about it... get a major full acrobat user to complain to adobe that their pdfs are not really ppc readable.

Suddenly I can't open any email attachments in MSWord, Excel or Powerpoint format

I have been using my PC with Windows 7 and multiple browsers (IE, Chrome & Firefox) I have experienced the same problem on all three browsers. For the past week, whenever I downloaded a MSOffice formatted attachment I can download it or
save it but when I attempt to open the attachment I get an error message that say's "Word, Excel or PowerPoint has experienced an error and cannot open this file---check for file or drive permissions...or open with text recovery converter.
If I save the document I can click on "Properties" and then click the "Unblock" box and open normally. This takes forever and is a real pain---any ideas on how to restore my system?

Hi Diamond,
Which version of Microsoft Office Programs have you installed? What’s version of those attachments. Are they outlook’s attachments?
Please check your settings:
Open the control panel, open the administrative tools;
Choose “Component Services ” and open;
Expand the Component Services and choose “Computer”;
Right click “My Computer” and select “Properties”;
Select the “default properties” tab and set as the following:
Default Authentication Level :Connect
Default impersonation Level: Identify
Finally please confirm your problem.
Meanwhile, you could refer to this link:

Can't Open PDF Email Attachments

I have a Treo 650 with ATT/Cingular service. I am unable to open PDF attachments to email (use Versamail and a POP3 server). I can see the attachments, when I click on the message "Do you want to accept (file name)... I reply "Yes" and receive an error message "Failed to receive beamed document." When I hit choice "OK" I get this error message "Error: Database: corrupt database 0x0209". I have unistalled and re-installed Adobe Reader 3.05 for Palm OS from both my Treo 650 and my laptop several times and I still get the message.
What is really weird is that if I Hot Sync an Acrobat Reader PDF file from my laptop to my Treo 650 I CAN view the PDF - it is only getting them from email to open that is the issue. I can open other types of file attachments from email (WORD, Excel, ...) Any ideas? ATT could not help.

The files aren't corrupt. The problem is that Adobe Reader for Palm is a two part system. The actual Palm Reader is a relatively small program that is designed to work on versions of the Palm that don't have memory cards, and therefore can only handle files in the special Palm database format.
The general philosophy is that, the small screen and possibly the small memory (on some Palms) is not appropriate to the presentation of print images, therefore the documents are reflowed and displayed using the Palm's native fonts.
Reflowing requires that the PDF file be marked up with the logical structure of the document, not just the layout. That is a recent feature (tagging), done to allow reading by devices like screen readers for the blind, and most documents don't have it done at source, so the part of the reader than runs on Windows usually has to attempt to do this. Doing it is complex, because it involves making inferences about the intent of the layout.
Also, to reduce the load on the Palm part of the code, all images are converted to bitmaps.
Finally, as noted above, many Palms at the time the software was written, many Palms did not have memory cards and therefore could only handle files in PDB format, so the Windows part of the code wraps the file up as a PDB when you properly hot synch it. That involves adding to the file, it is not just a renaming operation.
It could be argued that processing power, memory, and the ubiquity of memory cards, now mean that vector graphics could be used directly and the files no longer need a PDB wrapper. The arguments for tagging still hold, though, although some people might prefer to scroll a 150x150 window. Adobe do not seem to have worked on this software for many years.
I believe it is possible to use third party tools to recover the .PDF.PDB and then successfully email that, but on receiving it, you must put it in a Palm applications directory, not in a directory for normal files.

Cannot save email attachments to folders in Finder

Ughhh, I'm getting a sinking feeling.... It's happening again.
Ever since I installed Mavericks back in June of 2014, I've had nothing but problems. In fact, the actual install (perhaps coincidentally, I'm told) caused my hard drive to fail in mid-install, even though it was only 2 years old. Apple Care cheerfully paid for the new hard drive and installed Mavericks for me, but ever since my previously fast, responsive computer has been incredibly sluggish, lots of beach balls, tons of problems with things like the one I'm experiencing again today -- can't save email attachments to folders in Finder (the computer behaves as if the save was successful, but when you go look in the Finder later, you discover it was never saved anywhere). Also, I can't create any new folders because it says the location is Read Only (I've tried various file locations -- same result).
Since June, after countless visits to the Genius Bar and all sorts of attempts to fix the accumulating problems, the Genius erased my User Library last December in a final attempt to get the computer to work right before my Apple Care ran out. It was one of many attempted fixes that would actually work pretty well for a few days, but then the problems would accumulate again.
Last week, Word kept crashing. I took it to the Genius Bar and the June 2014 hard drive failed a diagnostic test. Even though Apple Care had expired, Apple replaced the hard drive for free because they could see the long list of notes from all of the visits I had made to the Genius Bar. I restored everything and, although it seemed to be working okay at first, I was still getting a lot of beach balls. Sometimes it can take 30 seconds to open a Word document, even if the application is already open. (FYI, I don't keep a lot of applications running.) But at least it was working. Today, however, I'm seeing some of the old familiar problems creep in. I cannot save email attachments to a folder. I cannot create new folders. I've tried restarting the computer multiple times. All of this was working fine as recently as yesterday.
1. Am I doing something that is causing this? This is my sixth Mac and I've never a serious problem with ANY of the others (including one that I bought USED) and I use them at least 8 hours a day. As far as I know, I'm doing everything the same way I've always done it.
2. Has anyone else encountered this "Read Only" problem and do you know how to fix it? I'm starting to think this is just a bad computer and that this is a symptoms that something is very wrong again.
3. Do I simply need to start over with a brand new computer (although, frankly, I'm scared to restore everything onto a new computer and risk "infecting" the new one). This is my work computer and I am self-employed, so I really cannot afford to be running to the Genius Bar once or twice a week any longer. Any advice? It's a MacBook Pro that I bought in December 2011. According to the stats, I'm using 354.68 GB of my 499.25 GB storage capacity.
Sorry this is so long. Just trying to give the context.

Mail: I can only open one email at a time

Using Mail, I have a very strange phanomenon: I can only open one email at a time. E.g. when writing a new email, I cannot open another email for reference. I need to close and save the new email as a draft before being able to open another one.
It would be great if somebody could help me with this, thanks!

Hi Cocolores,
If you choose File > New Viewer Window from the menu bar in Mail, you can have as many email messages open as you like.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Can't open my emails, can you help?

Can't open my emails, please help me

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.
