Can I send attachments to select recipients only?

Does anyone know of a way to send an email to two or more people, but restrict who receives any attachments? Sometimes I need to send preliminary documents out for review, and copy my boss so he'll know the status. However, he doesn't want to receive the attachments.
I realize that I can simply forward the email to my boss after the fact (minus the attachment). However, it's often more effective to copy him on the original email so that the reviewer will know that he's in the loop.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

None that I'm aware of.

Can't Send Attachments Using Exchange Account

For some reason I can't send attachments using my Exchange account on my iPhone. Pictures, Word docs, Excel Docs, doesn't matter. They just get stuck in my out box and I get the following message, "Cannot Send Mail - An error occurred while delivering this message." I can receive attachments just fine, but cannot send or forward them. If I use any of the other email accounts on my phone, it works fine. The Exchange account is the only issue. Is this some limitation with Exchange on an iPhone or something? Anyone ever have the same problem as was able to fix it? Thanks!

I've got 38 iPhones deployed running the 3.1.2 OS against an Exchange 2007 server. Several of my users complain about the same issue, and I've seen it myself. I have found a workaround of sorts - I've found that if I've sent a message with an attachment and I get a failure to send, if I manually browse down to the Sent Items folder, that forces a replication of the Sent Items. The next time I do a manual sync, the e-mail with the attachment will go.
I presume this has something to do with Exchange trying to put a copy of the e-mail in to your Sent Items at the same time the iPhone is trying to send the message.
Potentially, this might be solved by turning off the option to always store your sent e-mails in the Sent Items. I have not yet tested that as a workaround as from a corporate standpoint and an ease-of-use standpoint, we want that e-mail in the Sent Items for reference.
If anyone has any success with this fix, please let me know.

I can't send attachments with Thunderbird?

I can't send attachments with Thunderbird. I can write a message but when I click on Attach, I get the message "Thunderbird has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." There is only a "CLOSE PROGRAM" button displayed and when I click on it Thunderbird stops running. I'm not sure whether this is a Thunderbird problem or a Windows 7 problem. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it?

Try to start Thunderbird in safe mode.

Can't send emails to multiple recipients any more?

Yesterday I had to send an email to some 30 other people (I only do this occasionally).
It refused to go and I received this error message:-
I have several email accounts but each one was the same.
At that time I could not even send single emails but incoming emails were unaffected.
Later in the day I received this email from my ISP mail account.
Your emails may be blocked – please confirm your alternate BT Yahoo! Mail addresses
Dear Customer,
You’ve received a ‘553’ error message because we’ve upgraded your BT Yahoo! Mail account security to help protect against ‘spoofing’ – when people use alternate email addresses to disguise the real sender, possibly to commit fraud.
What you need to do
We need you to take a few minutes to confirm each of the BT Yahoo! Mail alternate email addresses you use are genuine. If you don’t, you might get more ‘553’ error messages and have problems sending emails. Just log in and follow these simple steps. We don’t ask for any personal information.
This is rubbish and I had a similar one last year which I ignored, as the simple steps were far from simple, and the following morning all was back to normal.
So I ignored this email and tried again this morning.
I was still unable to send emails to multiple recipients but now I can send single emails OK!
Any ideas what is going on?
Is it Mail's fault or my ISP's?

From the error message, it looks like there was a problem with at least one of the addresses ("NONE"). It is possible that a bad address is in the list you tried to send to.
I don't know anything about BT Internet, so I can't confirm the authenticity of the email you received.
You should be able to log into your BT account directly from the web without using any links sent in the email.
The email also seems to indicate you used an alias as the reply-to (from) email address.
You didn't mask out the username for your smtp server and it is definitely different from the from account. This may all be normal, but it does tend to match what the email is telling you.

Can't send attachments in mail since upgrading

Hi-
Since upgrading, I can't send attachements in Mail. The filenames appear all grayed out and they can't be highlighted. In order to attach, I have to open through Finder and drag over into Mail.
What gives?
s

Usability and interface issues with Gmail aside, I did figure something out. (I don't really use Gmail, it just seemed like a good at the time when I was setting up an account for a friend so I could help out with issues.)
I couldn't add attachments to a new message either. In fact, when I clicked the link to add an attachment, the link disappeared. I discarded the message, opened a new one, click the add attachment link, and the link disappeared again.
Turning off the blocking of pop-up windows didn't change the outcome.
So I opened a new message and looked around.
I noticed a little icon in the upper right of the message, just above the To: field, a sort of double square with an arrow in it. It looked almost like icon used on Windows to indicate maximizing the window for full screen, except it had an arrow that looked like the "Forward" arrow when you want to forward a message instead of replying. No tool tip came up so I decided to try it.
This made the message disappear, and popped open a new smaller window which eventually loaded the message. Looked about the same as before but without the rest of Gmail. Curiously, the add attachments link actually worked, without disappearing. A dialog popped open (looked like from the OS, not a browser window) and I was able to select a file. It appeared listed below the subject and above the message, with a progress indicator that took several seconds (half a minute?) before any progress happened. It did eventually get started and completed the upload.

I can't send attachments

I am supposed to be able to send attachments up to 25Mb however it does not matter how small or what format I try and use I see the file name and file size in the bar near the top of the screen but I only get a spinning thing as though it is attaching a file.
I can just leave this until it times out. There is no problem with my PC as I can send attachments from my hotmail address.
Any ideas ???????????????????

Hi.
This sounds like something locally is interferring, e.g. a security product such as anti-virus or firewall. Can you check the settings of any of those products in case they are indeed getting in the way ?

Help!! Can't send attachments (but can receive them)

Hi everyone,
I just bought my macbook a few months ago. Email was working fine all along but recently (for the past 2 weeks) have been having problems sending emails with attachments (word documents with small file sizes) on all of my web mails including Gmail, Yahoo! mail and Hotmail. I've tried using different browsers too, including Firefox and Safari, and even different networks, at home and at wireless hotspots in cafes and such. Nothing works!!! It's strange because I can receive and retrieve emails with attachments, and can even send emails as long as there aren't any attachments. I can send attachments, but only through Adium (chat application, like Messenger).
But just now, i tried using my sister's PC using the network at home and was able to send attachments(from her gmail account and mine)! (She uses Firefox)
I've therefore come to a conclusion that the problem is with my mac...
I am reallly frustrated. Can anyone please please help? :(((

Try removing your e-mail. I haven't set up AOL on iPhone in a while, but it is an IMAP account. Authentication may be the issue. Go into Settings<Mail<AOL<Advanced<SSL On/Off. Use Password authentication, and/or port 143.

How can I send attachments as an icon and not a full page pasted in my document?

I send a lot of attachments in my job and I am new to apple. 90% of the time I can not get an attachment to be the same as when I used a pc. It paste it as a full document. I have looked at help and I have been able a few times to click "view as an icon" but often that is not given to me as an option. I have checked in the send mail box 'send word friendly" but still most of the time I can not send an attachment properly. does it need to be a certian extention or what? Why? Help!!

The easiest way to do this from the Finder is simply drag the document icon onto the Mail icon in the Dock. That will open Mail with the document already attached.
If the recipient reports problems, try compressing the document first. Highlight the document and choose "Compress" from the Finder's File menu. Then drag it to Mail.
If the recipient still reports problems, you may first have to save the document in Word in a compatible format. If your PC colleagues are using an earlier version of Word you will have to use the lower common format.

How can we just update few selected document only in the icloud

Hi can anyone tell me how to upload only selected documents through iCloud

What "document" is it? For most apps, if not all, you just flip the switch to "off". It will say that it will delete it form backup, but don't worry, it will delete it from iCloud not your device, unless it is contacts or calendar etc.
So what is the app called that contains your document?

Can't send attachments to my wife who is in the same room. She gets the message without attachments

My wife's computer is about 6 feet from mine. I can send her mail but not attachments. She can send me mail and attachments. I can not figure out what changes i need to make to send attachments. I use apple mail software.

What Mac OS version is on each computer?
If both are running Mail, you may get faster help by posting in the forum for that OS version:
Mac OS X v10.7 Lion
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard
Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard
Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger
Look for the "Mail & Address Book" section of each forum that matches your OS.
This forum is primarily for hardware issues with iMacs made before 2006 so doesn't get as much traffic.

I can't send attachments with MAIL

Please help me. Since I have installed Leopard, I have problems to send attachments by mail. People to whom I send, they don't receive them.
Does anybody have any idea about to solve this trouble?
Andrea from Italy

so you look in your Sent folder and the email with attachment is shown as sent, and you do not receive an error message on your computer.
then i would say it is purely a recipient error, and i am not sure how we can help on these pages not knowing what system they use or if on the web. do you have a friend to whom you can send an attachment that also uses a mac by any chance? does he/she receive the attachment fine, or no attachment either?
hope this helps

Can't send attachments, can barely send emails at times since updated OS.

Mac's Mail app. 2.1 will not send attachments anymore (on or about the time I updated 3 of my copmuters to OS X 10.4.7. At times I can barely send emails, especially if they have more than a few lines of content! I can, however, receive email. My ISP, Adelphia, in Los Angeles, says everything's fine on their end and it's the Mail application. This is ridiculous. It started a week ago, then stopped doing it, and now it's totally worthless again. I've read numerous accounts of this in the discussions, but every "solution" seems needlessly complex. Can anyone help?
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi Freder,
That's interesting...
Possibility: Some mail or account setting or preference file is corrupted
Make a new user account (System Preferences > Accounts; click the lock icon to authenticate, then the "+" icon). Log out of your account (under the Apple menu) and log into the new account. Run Mail and set up the Adelphia account. Can you send from here? To avoid confusion, don't receive mail in the new account -- look at Mail > Preferences > General and the check for new mail option to prevent an automatic receive.
Possibility: There's something else going on on your system
While sending a large message you know will fail, watch your system with Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities). Be sure the popup at top says All Processes, then click the % CPU column to show heavy CPU users. What is using your system? How much CPU is used? How much free disk space and free RAM is there? (The latter two items are under the Disk Usage and System Memory tabs at the bottom.)
Possibility: the connection to Adelphia is a problem
Web browsing is OK? You say that web mail works fine. Would you notice a drop out of your network connection for, say, five seconds while browsing the web? That's long enough to interrupt mail but short enough that you might just put it down to a slow page load. Watch network activity in Activity Monitor, the Network tab at the bottom. Does it drop to zero for a while before Mail fails?
If you can try the suggestions and answer the questions, I think we'll whittle this down enough to propose a solution.

Can't send mail, goes into Outbox only

Starting last night Apple Mail stopped sending mail. I have three mail accounts with different smtp servers I can use with smtp.comcast.net being my default. But all at once I can't send using any of them. All the accounts are online. Connection Doctor shows all servers as Okay. When I send an email nothing appears to happen i.e. no sound, no message box etc. But the message does go into the Outbox. If I select it in the Outbox and try to resend it, nothing happens. I can receive mail fine. Also I have four other users on this Mac and there email is working fine. So no network or firewall issues going on.

It might be a pretty white box but it can save you *** one day. Home owners insurance is just a piece of pretty white paper you hope you never have to use. How many people do you know who's house burned down? I've had Mac's since the original 128K. I've had four drive go bad on me in all these years. My sister has had two and my brother has had one. Hard drive are really cheap now a days not to be using Time Machine. I can't imagine why you can't get yours to work. Apple made it brain dead simple. I've set them up for a number of people.
To get Time Machine to work make sure the drive is partitioned as a GUID and formatted as journaled Mac OS Extended.
