Can not view (some) emails with attachments

There has already been some discussion about individuals getting the "This message has not been downloaded from the server" error.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4983643
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I am using GMail and am having problems reading (some) emails with attachments. I can read the first several lines through the preview view, but can not open (some) emails without getting the "This message has not been downloaded from the server" error.
The problem appears to be completely random. The problem occurs sometimes after I open the email on my computer, and other times it occurs before I open the email on my computer. And sometimes opening the email on my computer does not cause any problem opening the email on my phone.
I have seen this problem on two different phones now and have re-created the email accounts on both phone several times. But the problems keeps (eventually) appearing--for some, but not all emails.
 PowerBook G4, Macintosh 512K     iPod nano (2nd Gen 8GB), iPhone (8GB)

So, I think things are actually sending/downloading and it's just taking time and the iphone is defaulting to the error message.
I don't think that's the case. I have several week-old messages on my iPhone (each under 300k) that still say "The message has not been downloaded from the server."
I've been connected to wifi for over an hour now, so that's plenty of time to downloaded these few small emails. I can read the "preview" of the message from the Inbox screen, but when I click on the message itself, I get the error.
And, those messages with the attachments that I was able to open this morning? I can no longer open them now. Very, very frustrating.

  • How to view only emails with attachments on iPhone

    I used to be able to go into mail and I could tap on "attachments" and it would show me ONLY emails that have attachments. I recently swapped my iphone for a new one of the same model and everything, but I don't see the attachments section anymore. Any ideas? I could not find anything about this in the settings either.

    You will need to empty also trash to be sure. The email and the attachment will not be on iPod but may be a copy will still be on a server of your provider according to the system he uses (IMAP or POP3) and according to the preferences you have set on the mail programs (leave message on the server... delete it after a date or after deleting it from inbox or... there are many possibility).
    If the mail message is still on a server teoretically you can download it again from the iPod or even another computer.. of course knowing your account settings and password.
    What is not clear in your message: you mention 3 devices: sent thge mail from your cell (1) to your iPod (2) and/or to your friend (3).
    Added later: you will also need to check the SentMessage Folder because a copy of the mail could also be there if you sett to keep a copy there.

  • Mail; emails with attachments are not shown in Sent folder

    Since upgrading to Yosemite I have had lots of problems with Mail.
    One is that it seems that some emails with attachments do not show in the Sent folder! Some of them can be found further down, On my Mac in a folder called Recreated letters, or something like that in English.
    Anyone have the same problem?
    Nina

    What is your version of TB? Have you changed anything since the last time it worked? Mail servers changes done by your provider are also possible.
    * Does it occur when an e-mail is sent immediately (before a possible auto-save, see below)?
    * Can you copy any mail from any folder to the Sent folder?
    I've heard of the error "saving to Sent" with older versions of TB, but not related to attachments.
    So, for the general saving to Sent error, some people report that this
    https://kb.wisc.edu/wiscmail/page.php?id=3679
    has helped them.
    I've also heard that turning off "Auto save every .. minutes" in TB preferences > Composition > General has helped some in older versions and IMAP.
    You may check this page: <br>http://kb.mozillazine.org/IMAP:_advanced_account_configuration
    PS: You seem to use Firefox 16, an extremely outdated and insecure browser version. Same for Thunderbird? To be on the safe side (bugs, security), IMHO you should really upgrade regularly to the latest versions, of course backing up your profiles first, especially with TB ( http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup ).

  • Mail not receiving emails with attachments

    Hi
    I'd appreciate any suggestions in relation to the following.
    My wife and I both run computers from the one account, Mail on her PowerBook logging in through my name and password. Until recently, we have had no problems at all. However, it has come to light that my wife has not been receiving emails with attachments for some time. To test this, my wife sent an email with an attachment to her home email address from work, and copied it to me. I received the email and the attachment on my PC; my wife's Mac did not receive the email. I then forwarded the email with the attachment to her computer; this was successful. This would suggest some problem with her Mail account on the Mac. However, the configuration has not been changed. Is it possible for it just to stop working for some reason?

    I'm using a PC for my email at the moment. I'm not sure if all my wife's emails have been downloaded. However, Mail has made a Home/Mail/MessageUidsAlreadyDowloaded file. This was created when I sent an email to test what happened. I was unable to make Mail download all her emails, so I guess they must have gone from the server. She has a different email address to mine, but it's run from the same ISP account; as I said, she logs in, automatically, through Mail to her email. I have contacted the ISP about it, but they are unable to see any trace of emails that colleagues have sent my wife and which she sends home to herself. All of these files happen to have attachments, but I cannot see any setting of Mail which would account for them being rejected. Also, I can't be entiurely sure that only emails with attachments don't get through; there may be others, 'unattached'.
    Thanks for your continued assistance.

  • SOA Suite 11g - Email with attachments (Attachment from SOAP attachment)

    Hello,
    Can any one please help as to how I can do the following in Oracle SOA 11g:
    Using a BPEL process how can I send an Email with attachments where the attachment itself is coming from a SOAP attachment.
    The back ground is that we have portal sites from where the users can upload a document and then from their a SOA service is invoked and the attachment would be passed as (SOAP attachments) and then emails have to be send to users containing this uploaded document as the attachment.
    Thanks.
    feel free to email me [email protected]

    I purchased some movies off iTunes from my account (but from my father IPad) to download as a gift,
    but didn't realize he can not view if not logged in with my account.
    Is there any way to save directly to the IPad (regardless of account) so he can view?
    Or transfer to his account?
    Or is any was to cancel the recent purchase if can not transfer as I will not watch these myself?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • I am using a mac mini (10.8.3) with Mac Mail 6.3 (1503).  Whenever I try to forward an email with attachments, the attachments do not make it.  They show being sent, but the attachments never are sent.

    Hey Guys,
    The title says it all.  Whenever I receive an email with attachments, I will try to forward the email to someone with the attachments.  Mac Mail shows that the attachments are attached, but the receiver says the attachments are not there. Our mail host is Rackspace.  We are setup with IMAP.  It should be noted that we are experiencing similar issues with OS 10.5.8 with Mac Mail 3.6 (936).
    We assumed Rackspace was the problem, so we logged into their webmail portal and tested it and the attachments were received as normal, which points everything back to Mac Mail.  We even had an ISP change but the problem do not change.
    I have researched the problem, and there seems to be evidence of this being a known bug with Mac Mail, but I am hoping there is a workaround.  The company is unwilling to move to a different mail client since they use Daylite 4, which does not support Thunderbird.

    Back up all data.
    1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
    2. Repeat with this line:
    /Library/Mail/Bundles
    This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
    Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
    Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
    thanks.
    Sorry my bad Inglês.

  • I can not open some internet sites with my ipad

    since i download new apple software 7.2 i can not open some internet sites with my ipad! it lets me open only english sites nothing else...

    Try a soft reboot and see if that helps.
    1. Press and hold power + home button until screen goes off and apple logo appears.
    2. Once the apple logo appears release both buttons and let the phone reboot.
    This helps clear temporary files. I assume you've tried deleting safari from multitasking?
    You could always try using a different app top browse the internet.
    VPN is another solution as it has helped me out before.
    Hope this helps.

  • Email with attachments shown on blackberry but not on computer, while without attachment seen at both places (same sender)

    One sender sent me 3 emails, two with attachments and one without attachment. I could see all the emails on my Blackberry but I didn't see emails with attachments on my computer. thanks for the help.

    I would think this is an issue with your email provider, not the BlackBerry. What email service do you use?

  • HT201320 I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account?

    I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account on her iPhone? I tried to just copy the info from her old iPhone.

    The sending of email is accomplished via the SMTP server. Take a moment to get back into Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and select the account. Go to the SMTP server and check to make sure that username and password are entered in all of the appropriate places. If you cannot get it to work after trying to just change those settings, remove the account from the phone and recreate it. When recreating, make sure you enter the username and password in every location, even if the phone says optional. Make sure you have the settings from either the email provider or from the other device. Make sure that SSL is on or off as necessary.
