Apple Mail in 10.6.8 not displaying attachments

I am unable to get consistent results on displaying attachments from Apple Mail on 10.6.8 with Exchange Server 2007 SP3 RU4. Attachments sent from an Outlook 2007 client on the same exchange server are not displayed in Apple Mail. The message shows no sign of an attachment. The problem with this issue, is it is not consistant. If I forward the e-mail message from my iPhone to myself, I get the attachment in Mail. It shows up in my iPhone correctly. I am connected to Exchange in Mail via the standard EWS (Exchange Web Services). The original message doesn't show any attachment in Mail. But after 20 or so minutes, the attachement show in the message body, but not in the header up top. Just driving me crazy. Is there anyone that can point me in a direction on who to contact on this issue to find out how it can be fixed?
Thanks,
Nate

I'm having the same problem and it is driving me crazy. My main email account at work is on an Exchange 2007 server. When I send emails with attachments (using Mail 4.5), I get people replying telling me that I haven't included the attachments. However, I know I have as the attachments appear in the Sent Items and I have also tested it by sending blind copies to a Gmail account and they turn up there even when the recipient is telling me that they cannot see the attachment. Even worse, people send me emails with attachments and the attachments either just do not appear at all or they appear intermittently. Whatever the problem, this really isn't good enough - how can I work with such unreliability. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for how to fix or work around this I'd be very grateful!

  • In Apple mail, the attachment symbol does not appear in the list of sent items

    In Apple mail, the attachment symbol does not appear in the list of sent items. So you cannot sort sent emails based on whether or not they have an attachment. Is there a way to fix this?

    I think my question wasn't clear. I know how to display the attachment header (I use classic layout) but the problem is that the paperclip icon does not appear against the messages that contain attachments. See screenshot below. The attachment column is displayed but is blank. These are my sent items and I know for a fact that most of them have attachments. Can you help?

  • Apple Mail Search and Spotlight do not work for locating email messages after upgrading to Lion 10.8.3.

    Apple Mail Search and Spotlight do not work for locating email messages after upgrading to Lion 10.8.3 on my 27" iMac.
    When searching in Apple Mail, sometimes a get a few results (with many missing), and sometimes no results at all.
    I had absolutely no problems before with Snow Loepard.
    I have reindexed mail and my startup drive. I have followed discussions regarding this matter and tried everything - a waste of time.
    This is VERY serious for me - I have many thousands of messages that I archive and need to reference for work and clients, and now I cannot find them.

    I found out that I needed a $100 mini displayport to dual-link dvi adapter to make my $30" cinema display work with my macbook pro

    When I found out that solved the problem, I took it back because that was too expensive for a stupid adapter, and it still didn't work perfectly.

  • Apple Mail with defunct smtp trying to display 800 alerts or so

    Apple Mail, after upgrading to Maverick, now tries to display > 800 alerts for automatic mail forwards that it apparently now cannot send because of some issue I probably have to troubleshoot. It deadlocks to that behavior, too, so each time I force quit out and try to re-open is like rewind/ play.
    The problem must be that Apple Mail seems to have an entirely un-interruptable sequence of actions that the user has entirely no control over whatsoever. It first will open the mail and mailboxes. And even though I can try to be fast and change settings to "try to send later" instead of "present list with SMTP options", the step of " trying to understand what user means by changing that setting" has not been programmed yet.
    So with great irreverence, I can do whatever I want and Apple Mail will always end up trying to pull up >800 single little alert windows telling me the most obvious, which is, that it cannot send a message, .
    It would have been enough to present exactly one error saying "cannot send >800 message". Or to start with a preferences dialog without going into uninterruptable auto gah gah.
    Where would I find a text file with Apple Mail preferences that I can edit to change the behavior of the program? Deleting ~ / Library / Mail / ... / Drafts did not cause any effect as all drafts and subsequent errors remained there stubbornly but reliably.

  • I have changed my Apple ID so that it would reflect my new email address. My Apple devices and icloud info do not display my new ID, even though I use the new one to log into iTunes, etc.  How can I get this problem resolved so that I might feel confident

    After changing my Apple ID I do not seem to be able to recognize it as my proper ID. It does work properly for an iTunes login and password, but, it is not displayed that way on my device when I look at my iCloud settings and other "system level" settings.
    How do I correct this to be confident that I can use a feature, such as "Find My iPhone" and know that the functions and contact info is correct?

    To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

  • TS1843 Not receiving apple mail.  Connection Doctor says not connected to server.  Yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

    Not receiving apple mail.  Checked connection Doctor.  Not connected to server, yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

    No, I have a Mac and my email connects via our pacbell account we've had for years.  However, something in the Preferences/Accounts is not correct I am guessing.  Also, it asks for the password and if I put it in and click save through general or viewing, it's NOT saving it and still not allowing me to get email. My husband tried reading about this through our AT&T acct and said to change the incoming server to imap.mail.yahoo.com and outgoing smtp.mail.yahoo;[email protected], but now I can't receive or send any email on my Mac. In advanced not sure if it should be Port of 465 or 900 something or other and SSL checked or not.  I called AT&T and they want to take over my machine by charging $15/mos for a year to fix this.  Ridiculous. 
    So, everytime prior to yesterday, when my husband messed around with it, I was getting a POP needs password box, typed in my password, but to no avail..Then it Keychain password popped up and assumed it was the same, but there's no way to change or modify it even using the new password my husband set up through AT&T.  I am at a complete loss.
    I can access mail through yahoo mail and it takes me to AT&T Yahoo Mail, but no contacts are there so needless to say this is a pain.
    I appreciate any assistance you can give me so I can get back on my email as I have for 4 years.
    Thanks Hackintosh...I look forward to hearing from you....you can use the email above and it will come to me through my yahoo web page....Thanks again and let me know if you need any other information.  If you respond on here, I may not get the answer from you as I didn't know you responded until I came on discussions.  THanks

  • Apple mail and email accounts do not open in Yosemite

    I have recently found the problem that I open the Apple Mail app and nothing is functional. When I try to edit account settings it doesn't let me access those. I want to reinstall mail app or at least update its settings. I read in some blog that yosemite "guesses" and changes your prefered account settings so I wonder if that is the cause after I backed up my emails recently I had loads of messages asking for my passwords, which never happened in Mavericks.
    Does anyone have a clue what I can do? Solve it through time machine? Would I delete the app and reinstall it?
    Thank you for any help out there.

    start your mac in safe mode and try to open mail and check your accounts
    Starting up in “safe mode” may help you diagnose problems you’re having with your Mac.
    Note: To print these instructions, open Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear), then choose Print. 
    Shut down your Mac and wait 10 seconds.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator (spinning gear).
    To leave safe mode, restart your Mac normally without holding down any keys during startup.

  • Mail 7.3 (1878.6) not displaying images in random messages.

    In the last couple of weeks, I've noticed that, with no preference changes made by me, that random messages are not displaying images only empty boxes with the small blue question-mark box in the middle. This is almost exclusively from companies and organizations that I'm interested in.
    I've made no changes with regard to messages downloading with my mail in Mail's preferences. If I had, I'd think that ALL such messages would behave the same.

    Nothing happens. Loading remote content is a Mail preference for me for everything. Best I can do is choose to click the "if your having trouble seeing this..." offered by many advertisers to take you to their site.
    Since it's random, I wonder if it's not something that has to do with those specific servers sending those messages. And it's only a few, but enough to be annoying. These are people I've received perfect content from for years in some cases. No changes have been made to my preferences.

  • Clicking links in apple mail opens firefox, but does not go to the actual link.

    Clicking on links in Apple Mail opens/switches to Firefox, but does not go to the page of the actual link. It just loads the homepage or stays on whatever page I was on before. Links work fine when I switch my default browser to Safari, so I think the problem is with Firefox, not Mail. Downloading the latest version of Adobe Flash seemed to temporarily fix the problem, but it stopped working within a day or two.

    Here's a link to a thread that solved the problem for me:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12552345&#12552345
    The culprit was that the Flash plugin needed updating for FF. That was it.
    Go to Firefox; Preferences; General (tab); Add-ons; Manage Add-ons; Plugins.
    I clicked on Find Updates and immediately updated the Flash plugin.
    Hope this helps others.

  • Apple Mail in 10.8.2 not playing nice with MS Office 2011

    After upgrading to 10.8 I am having some issues opening MS Office attachments in Apple Mail.  When I click on any Word, Excel, or Power Point attachment I dialog box pops up stating "The attachment could not be opened....."  I can choose which application to use to open the document, cancel or save.  When attempting to choose the application, Office application are not available.  The only way to open the attachments are to save them and open from the saved location or through the application itself.
    Anyone running in to this issue or have an idea on how to sync up Mail and Office?
    Thanks!

    One thing springs to mind....
    Had you previously moved the folder "Microsoft Office 2011" out of the Apps folder? or moved any of the Apps out of the "MS Office 2011" folder to somewhere else?
    If so, try moving them back.

  • Apple Mail Acting Funky with Gmail, Not Updating

    I'm running OS X 10.9.1 on a MacBook Air and Apple Mail 7.1. I'm up to date on all updates.
    It seems Mavericks and Gmail are not playing well together and my Gmail is not loading or updating consistently. I can force it to update using the following steps:
    Open Mail
    File > Close
    File > New Viewer Window
    Unfortunately this process needs to be repeated to manually update Gmail. Any advice?

    Apple:  Your Mac Mail 7.1 on Mavericks 10.9.1 is terrible.
    it is slow.
    It hangs up in the IMAP push and pull with servers like G-Mail.
    It dupicates addresses.
    It can't handline large amounts of IMAP messages (I have over 50,000 emails) without confusing mailboxes.
    When is the next update?  Lacking the next significant update, who are your competitiors who have competent programs?
    Additionally you need to force quit the process thought activity monitor to shut down about 20% of the time.
    Frustrated.

  • Apple Mail 7.3 suddenly does not send emails

    I've got Apple Mail 7.3 with Mavericks 10.9.5. After restarting my mac, just to refresh it (it was running without interruption for the last 36 hours), mail just will not send any emails to SMTP servers. It says it can't connect. I can still receive emails though. I have not changed any settings.
    Any idea what is happening ?
    I have confirmed with the provider that all the settings and ports are ok.
    I have 2 computers and can't send mails to SMTP from either of them. The other has 10.7.5 with Apple Mail 5.3

  • Apple mail - my .me account is not working

    my .me account is not working in Apple mail
    but it is working in ios
    and I can log into icloud
    2 computers can't log into apple mail - me account
    others are fine
    What's up?
    =========
    I just realized that I recently started using the icloud keychain for IOS - could that have messed up my apple mail?

         I have a feeling that they stopped support on the @me emails. I have the 2011 MacBook Pro and before they changed over to iCloud and started using your regular email (and away from the apple logins and usernames) this same laptop could send emails. I find today after wanting to email myself something that I couldn't because my "incoming server" was not working or inactive as it says on my Account preferences. I just deleted the MobileMe account info since it wouldnt recognize my password and used the iCloud one instead. Hopefully Im wrong since I have emails I need to retrieve from MobileMe if it IS going away or gone
