Attachments with emails are a PROBLEM!

Boy...I just dread having to send attachments with emails. Even a simple, one page flyer in pdf form! I have high speed internet connection - but no matter what size the attachment the emails just won't send. They repeatedly time out and/or have the drop down menu pop up to select another server (have three different email addresses/servers). No matter what server I use the emails will sit in the "outbox" all day and sometimes more than one day before they actually get sent. Does this happen to anyone else? Ideas to fix? THANKS!!

I am referring to new email messages, generated by me - sending to a recipient - that include attachments (usually pdf's) from my MacBook Pro. It is quite frustrating.... Thanks for your interest in helping me with this!

Make sure you open the email and fully download the attachments before trying to forward them. Large attachments are often only partially downloaded unless you tap the option to fully download the.

Sending attachments with emails in Javamail

I'm trying to send attachments with emails using Javamail. Following is the code through which I'm trying to achieve that. It works as expected on a JRE1.6 environment. But on JRE1.5, the content of the file gets added to the mail body as text.I want the file to be sent as an attachment.
Any pointers on the observed difference in behavior would be highly appreciated!
String msgText = mailInfo.getMessage();
        String attachmentFileName = mailInfo.getFileName();
        MimeBodyPart mimeBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
        mimeBodyPart.setText(msgText);
        // create the second message part
        MimeBodyPart attachmentBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
        // attach the file to the message
        FileDataSource fileDataSource = new FileDataSource(attachmentFileName);
        attachmentBodyPart.setFileName(fileDataSource.getName());
        attachmentBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fileDataSource));
        // create the Multipart and add its parts to it
        Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
        multipart.addBodyPart(mimeBodyPart);
        multipart.addBodyPart(attachmentBodyPart);
        message.setContent(multipart);The email in case of JRE1.5 is as follows

Problem sending small attachments with email

I used to be able to send small attachments with Verizon very easily, such as .pdf and .doc files. What I sent as Resume.pdf or Resume.doc was received as Resume.pdf or Resume.doc. Even when I used the accent marks, what I sent as Résumé.pdf or Résumé.doc was received as Résumé.pdf or Résumé.doc
However, lately some of the recipients of my emails with attachments (who use a range of different email programs and ISPs, so the problem is not on the recipient's end) have told me that they can't see the attachments (the rest haven't responded at all).
Even when I don't use the accent marks, what I send as Resume.pdf or Resume.doc now gets received as something like 347560586083560.dat...which looks much less professional when I send a cover letter and résumé to apply for a job.
How can I fix this problem and go back to sending files such as Résumé.pdf and Résumé.doc, or at least Resume.pdf and Resume.doc, so that they are received properly?
I use Eudora instead of webmail because
I can back up files on my hard drive, including all my Eudora folders, to an external hard drive for backup
I need to have my job applications come from my third party (alumni) address instead of my Verizon address. It's an issue similar to what lucycat mentioned on http://forums.verizon.com/t5/High-Speed-Internet-DSL-and-Dial/Port-25-587-and-third-party-email-acco...
Here are the tech specs:
Eudora 7.1.0.9
Its "Sending Mail" options are:
SMTP Server
SMTP Relay Personality
Allow authentication [yes or no]
Immediate send [yes or no]
Send on check [yes or no]
Use submission port (587) [yes or no]
Secure Sockets when Sending [Never; If Available, STARTTLS; Required, STARTTLS; Required, Alternate Port]
Thank you in advance for your help!

This is normally a problem with Outlook users that are using rich text to send their emails. Rich text causes a problem like you are describing, and their fix is to use plain text to send their emails instead.
I am not sure if your fix would be the same, but give it a try and let us know.
Send Plain Text Emails Only in Eudora
To have Eudora generate and send plain text emails only:
Select Tools | Options from the menu.
Go to the Styled Text category.
Make sure Send plain text only is selected under When sending mail with styled text (HTML):.
Turn Ask me each time off.Optionally, also uncheck Show formatting toolbar.
Click OK.

Why can I not send attachments with emails?

Since updating to Maverick have been unable to send attachments to emails. WHY?

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.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. 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 (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Attachments with email submission receipt?

Based on response to check boxes, I would like to send an attachment with email submission receipt. The attached file would be condistional. For example, with response A, the submitter would get the attachment docA.pdf, with response B, the submitter would get the attachment docB.pdf, etc.
Is this possible? Thank you.

Sorry this is not possible. We don not support sending attachments with the email receipts. Also, you can't even have conditional email body message.

Sending attachments with email from iPad

Can I send attachments, such as a pages file, when I send an email from my iPad?
Thanks for your help

If you want to send photos, you can do it two ways:
1. From Photos, tap the rectangle with the curved arrow, then tap the photos you want to send, then tap the Share button to create a new mail message.
2. From an already created mail message, do a copy-paste from Photos to include photos in the mail message.
Other apps are a little different. You can always copy-paste but that may get cumbersome.

Why can't I receive e-mails or attachments with text? Ongoing problem

This has been going on for months, I call tech support and depending who I get is what they do. One guy will say it's the phone and have me do a bunch of stuff, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and they fwd me to the next level of support. Next level will tell me it's a problem on their end, fix it, and it last a day or 2. I had enough of this. Everything was reinstalled, new simm card put in, same thing happens. I do not get e-mails, I do not get attachments in e-mails or text messages. I have the Droid. This has been going on from day one. What can I do? Sprint keeps sending me e-mails to go back to them, I'm getting close. Verizon suppose to be reliable, I'm not seeing it.

Droid razr
Android ver 4.1.2
System ver 98.72.165.xt912
Baseband vee cdma_n_05.21.00r ltedc_u_09.1d.00
Hopefully that's all u need. The email is (removed) it has been uninstalled and installed countless times using setup reinstalled. With tech support. Preinstalled, not downloaded from play store. I was able to get text working last night by removing some preinstalled texting software, picture of a bulldog was the icon. I never used it, may not be related. Emailed worked also but today its down again, no incoming.
The phone in question is (removed).
I'm sure you have the records of the number of times i contacted support.
Thank you

Attachments with email

I have been trying to determine how to send an attachment/photo with an email on my iphone 4. I am sure it is easy enough, but just cannot locate the information in the help file.
Anyone?

Photos are emailed from the Photo app. There are 3rd party apps that will do that, too.
You can also copy and paste certain items into an email.

Can't open attachments from email. No problem is acknowledged

I open my email message and click on attachment to open. Nothing happens. there is no reason given for not opening.

I'm having the same problem. I know there's an attachment. I can see the paper clip in the listing of e-mails, but when I open the e-mail, there's nothing to launch to see the attachment!

Sigh...njow outgoing emails are a problem

So now, all of a sudden, my Blackberry doesnt seem to be able to SEND emails on my @mydomain email address. Emails come in, but dont go out. No apparent reason. I pulled battery and hair, both. No result. I read somewhere to switch off ssl authentication. Did that. Didnt work. I deleted and recreated the email account. Didnt work. Maybe i should just return this and get the iPhone 5. The gmail works fine.
