Apple Mail not saving attachment Name!!

I'm on OSX Mavericks 10.9.4 and using Apple Mail. I'm experience extreme frustration when trying to save attachments. Let's say I get an email with 2 attachments named smile.jpg and sunset.jpg and then I click on the icon in Apple Mail to save all and it brings up the dialogue box to select a folder; I navigate and select a folder Pictures>Images expecting smile.jpg and sunset.jpg to be saved in the images folder with the correct names. Instead what happens is the attachments are stored in the Pictures folder with the names Images-01.jpg and Images-02.jpg. Very frustrating! Is anyone else experiencing this or have a fix?

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Mail is not saving attachment and save as is not working

Suddenly my Mail is not saving attachment and save as is not working. I tried to save an email as I use to do but it is not completing the task. I should I do?
Thanks for any help,
Mario Lordeiro

Mario,
Was there also NO choice to View As Icon, in the contextual menu? If not, these items/images may be embedded in HTML, rather than true attachments. Other choices for normal attachments would include Open Attachment, Open With, Save to Downloads Folder -- are any of those present in the contextual menu?
With such a message open, click on View in the menubar, place the cursor on Message in the pull-down menu, and choose Raw Source. Is there any HTML code present? Is there a header immediately before any code representing what you believe is an attached file?
If need be, I can send you an email message with a known form of attachment.

Blackberry notes sync with Apple mail notes

When I sync my blackberry it says that the notes sync with the Apple mail notes, but I cannot find the Apple mail notes. How do I access them??
Thank you.

I had the same problem. It actually syncs the memos to Mail. Open Mail from your computer, and on the left side there should be drop menus called: Mail, Reminders, and RSS. On mine, Reminders was closed, so I dropped it, and there was another menu called "Notes", and viola! There were all the Blackberry Notes, ready to go! It's literally saved in "Apple Mail Notes".
This thread is what made me look there: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12187767
Hope I helped!

Apple mail not showing all the messages?

In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

Solved!
This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
I found a solution thanks to this topic:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
Does work brilliantly though!

Access Apple Mail notes outside of Mail itself

Does anyone know if there is a program that simply lets you view/edit your Apple Mail notes OUTSIDE of Apple Mail? I just can't wrap my head around opening my email client to write random notes. I can't seem to find anything.
Thanks!
Frank

Ah Thank You, [ Jeffery Jones2 ] !
I now remember stumbling across this and wondering why I was in Mail and not Finder when I entered Time Machine a while back. <hehe> Now I get it!
Easy restoration of my Mail Notes! All is well again now that I verified iTunes sync is turned "off" and that the MobileMe sync is turned "on"—no more conflicts.

Entourage Notes Export to Apple Mail Notes

I have searched but could not find a solution yet to export Entourage Notes to Apple Mail Notes. I have more then 2000 notes so I hope to find an easy solution to this. If it will not work with Apple Mail Notes maybe someone has an application which will just have the notes and ideally sync them with iPhone. Thanks

hello
I get 50% of your needs: export entourage notes (to another soft like MarkspaceNotesbook). I let you find how to use them (files.txt) in Mail. Let me know!
There is a solution to export these notes by using a smartphone (or perhaps it works too with your ipod).
- connect the device (mobile phone I mean) to the Mac,
- sync the notes from Mac to the device (using PocketMac software or Missing sync software)
- use now the explore feature of PocketMac or Missing Sync. (to "see" on the device).
- explore the device and find your notes
- drag the notes with you mouse, from the device to a notes software (for example MarkspaceNotesbook. I tryed also with Yojimbo but it has hard to do it).
- Markspacenotesbook will take the note and keep safe their titles.
- this process could have bugs. I discover once it refused big quantities. Drag and dropp 10 per 10 if it is the cases.
Hope it works for you

Apple Mail Not Syncing

I am having issues with my apple mail not syncing on my computer. This just started happening, was working fine up to this point. We use MDaemon, and nothing appears to be wrong on the server. I can see all the mail on my iPhone and through World Client. This is the error I'm getting. I have backups of my computer, what components should I try to reinstall from "resources".
System consistently reports(s) : SyncServer[985]: [0x7fada840bdb0] |DataManager|Warning| Client com.apple.Mail sync alert tool path /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Resources/MailSync does not exist.

I have reinstalled Mountain Lion, and this still did not help. Mail still not syncing. When I look in the "System/Library/Framewoks/Message.frame/Resources" I do not see anything that is called MailSync. I have looked through my Time Machine backups and see it way back in Jan. 2013. I did copy it into the "Resoures" folder, still not working. I have deleted my account and reset up, still not working. My issue started late March 2013. I don't know what else to try.

Mail does not print attachment name & prints small

When printing an email, if it has an attachment, it does not print the attachment name. It prints the icon of the attachment (excel, word, psd, etc.) but it doesn't print the name of the file under it. This started happening since upgrading to Mavericks.
Also, emails are printing much smaller. Is there a way to enlarge the font when printing?

The same here and quite a lot of other Mail bugs - and all since the new MacPro and Mavericks, no such problems with Mavericks on the MacBookPro 2011 though
Sometimes the file names are printed, sometimes not and there is no way to find out why - it happens on and off with own mails to be sent and mails received.
Workaround for own mails is put each file underneath the other with some distance from the last word. Workaround in case of customer mails received go to reply, edit signature on top, reduce to one page and hope .... sometimes it works.
Also: on and off, Preview will show and printer will print only header on the first page, then body text on the second - only workaround to date (and believe me, I've tried everything) is use Reply, eliminate your own signature and reduce the printed area to less than a page
Also: long mails with back-and-forth messages may print a line half on one page and lower half on second one .... no workaround here.
Seems Mail is going to A4 US instead of A4 small (Europe), though this is not what the printer and the system or Word etc. are set to.
And a sneaking suspicion, that it works ok with people sending me mails from a Mac, but not from a Windows box ... can't bother all my customers though and ask
So please Apple - lots of people have the same problems - will you finally do something about it ... and yes I used the Feedback function

Sent E-mails Not Saved In Sent Folder

A while back I posted a topic about randomly sent e-mails not being saved in the Apple Mail Sent folder. At the time I thought it had something to do with AOL. BTW, I am using Apple Mail to access AOL's e-mail servers.
I am also using Apple Mail to access the e-mail servers for a web account I have with Your-Site.com. The same thing happened. I was sending an e-mail with a 6MB attachment. The Apple Mail status bar was holding steady at the half way mark. But it was not moving for about 2-3 minutes. Eventually the status bar disappeared. I checked my Sent folder and the e-mail I sent was not listed. No error messages. I did happen to bbc myself to another e-mail account that I have and it did make it there. But I have no idea if the e-mail was received by the company who I addressed it to.
I sent a follow-up e-mail to ask if they have received it but have not heard anything back.
Should I assume they got it since the bbc was successful?
Also, is it possible for randomly sent e-mails not to be saved in the Apple Mail Sent folder? And if so, why is that?

I have the same problem, and I think my mail is an older version 1.3.11 (I don't know why it's not updated though!!) Anyway... it's very frustrating, but I know that even it's not copied in the sent forder, the recipient receive the message. But We don't have any proof until the recipient reply or tell us that he had it. I could say that 97% of my message are copied in the sent folder and the other 3% is lost I don't know where... Why ? I don't understand... I there a probleme with the server .mac or the Mail app. ???
Thank you

Send mail not saved

I work with a couple of (imap) mail accounts. Receiving and sending mail is ok but the mail I send through those imap accounts is not saved in the directory sent items. Only the mail send by my apple account is saved.
I don't how to fix this problem? (I've tried deleting the accounts and make new accounts).
Neither Apple support or my ISP did not have a solution.

mac book Mac OS X (10.4)

I guess I figured it out. My settings were saving sent email to server (I was really convinced this was the right setting). By changing this setting my sent mail is saved in the sent directory.
Thnx for setting my on the right track
What are your Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox
Behaviors > Sent settings?
In the Finder, go to
~/Library/Mail/IMAP-username@mailserver/
. With that folder open, do Edit > Select All
(⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it
in your reply to this post to let me see the names of
the files and folders it contains -- you may disguise
any mailbox names you wish to keep private.
Note: For those not familiarized with the
~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home
folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder
within the user’s home folder.

Changes in mail not saving in Yosemite

When I upgraded my macbook air to Yosemite overtime I log into my mail I get a message the message "mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk."
When I check the box in preferences it works for a while but if I exit mail and come back I get the same message - why is this preference not being saved?

Same here. I'm having nothing but problems with Apple Mail via Yosemite right now and this very situation that we're both experiencing is making me miserable at the moment. There more I start changing settings the more I'm likely going to have a mess. I'm still experiencing the issue of emails that reach my Go Daddy Imap webmail...being downloaded until quite awhile later via the new Apple Mail client. In other words....nothing's different the last several months of having to constantly quite the application.
Email is so critical for everyone...I was praying that email would sync and be improved in this new version.

Yahoo sent mail not saved to server when using Mail only.

Why does my Yahoo sent mail not get saved to the server when I use Apple's Mail program? (I have it saved in settings to keep sent mail on server). I can see it in my Sent mail folder on Apple Mail but not on the yahoo server. It's an IMAP account and it works fine on my iPhone.
I have tried changing the outgoing ports as well and erasing the account and reinstating it on the Mail program. No luck.

This solved my questionRe: Yahoo Mail folder behaviour with Apple Mail 5.0
Dec 8, 2011 5:14 PM (in response to ernestobenedict)
I finally figured out how to fix this; under the mailbox menu there is an option to "use this mailbox for" that allowed me to select the Sent Items folder from my Yahoo IMAP list of folders and make it the default for sent items from the Mac OS X mail software! "
Thanks to ernestobenedict for this solution!!!

Mail not saving IMAP drafts or outgoing messages

I've searched the HELP topics and have not seen how to solve this problem. I have multiple accounts set up in Mail; a couple are yahoo.com/sbcglobal.net accounts and a couple are through two different companies for which I work. Most of them are set up as POP accounts, and they are behaving properly. The problem is with the one that is set up as an IMAP account. It successfully sends and receives mail, but it will not save drafts or the outgoing mail. I realize I can blind-copy myself and have the messages saved as incoming, but I'd really like them saved as drafts and outgoing. Thanks for any advice!

Hi Dantedelg,
If you are having an issue with your MacBook Air's Mail application not saving the Sent mail, you may want to check your Mail Preferences under Accounts > your account > Mailbox Behaviors > Sent. What is the setting for Delete sent messages when: set to? You may wish to change this setting. See this article -
Mail (Yosemite): Set up Mail with your email accounts
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Mail Not Saving Toolbar Configuration Changes

After recovering my mail by deleting the Mail Data Envelope Index files, any changes that I make to Mail's Toolbar do not save. I can make the changes (add the printer icon, etc.). Close the Message Viewer window. Open it again. Then they are there in the Toolbar. But when I quit Mail and open it again, the toolbar is back to its default (and the sidebar items are collapsed even if I expanded them all). Does anyone know where the Toolbar preferences are saved? I tried deleting the Mail preferences file in the Container folder in my Library. That did not solve the problem.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
