Problem opening mail attachments after snow upgrade

Hi,
After upgrade to snow leopard , mails which are coming from unix servers are coming as Mail Attachments.If we want to open them we need to right click and choose the application to open.
Could you please suggest how to open directly.
For Example : We generate a excel report(abc.xls) from unix box and send to users.Before upgrade the mail will show that report as excel with name as abc.xls and we can open by clicking it.But after upgrade it is coming as MailAttachment(name of he file is not abc.xls but MailAttachment)and we are not able to open by clicking.

As an addendum, anyone with IMAP or Exchange accounts should be aware of what Apple says about reindexing by this method at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
Note the advice to remove account folders, and let Mail build new ones for IMAP accounts.

Since upgrading to 8.0.2, I can't open mail attachments JPG

Why can't I open mail attachments photo.JPG, PDF... I could before I updated to 8.0.2

Did you have Firefox 37.0 or 37.0.1 before you updated? The changes were very minor, so I think the problem is more along the lines of a glitch than a program change...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

HT4623 Default mail app crashes. I can't open mail attachments. How do I restore the mail app?

I updated my ipad3 to iOS 7 last month. First thing I noticed is I can't continuously open yahoo mail attachments in the form of PDFs like I used to do. Just recently I installed iOS 7.0.6 in the hope that it will resolve this issue. I also deleted the "attachments.me" app thinking this may solve the problem. But my problem worsened as I discovered that I cannot also open ".doc" or word files. I have tried restoring my ipad last night but an error occurred during installation.
I can open the .doc or PDF mail attachments from safari though.
Any suggestions.

You need to download the Google Notifier and set it as the default email client. To restore the application, try running the applicable combo updater; if that doesn't work, you'll absolutely need the disks or a backup to get it back.

I can't open mail attachments on iPhone or iPad2

Since I updated my iPhone 4 and iPad2 to iOS5.0 I cannot open any mail attachments. I get the arrow to download. I click it, the file counts down the kb and then the screen flashes and that is it. I can't hold down the file and get the "open is" option. Nothing appears. I'm not sure that iOS5 is the problem but it happened about the same time. Can anyone help?

Attachments that show as a bold downward pointing arrow in a gray rectangle in a dotted box have not yet been downloaded to your phone (usually because they are large). Tapping such an icon should download the attachment if you are connected to the internet and your mail server is reachable. Once downloaded, they should appear as normal (which would depend on the attachment type).
This is the "Using iPhone" forum, so I said phone, but the same applies on an iPad.

Can't see the text of any e-mail received after ios4 upgrade

I can see some text whent it is listed, but i can't see it when I open the e-mail. Can anybody help me?
Message was edited by: Mapidufol

This just happened to me this morning during my commute. I read about 10 of my e-mails fine, but when I went to the next unread e-mail, the body of the e-mail was blank. I changed the preview to five lines and could see some of the text in the preview, but when I opened the e-mails, the body and subject lines are blank. It's been weeks since I upgraded to iOS4, so I don't know if it's related or not.
When I get home tonight, I might try resetting the iPhone.

How can i Open mail attachments in a separate Window

Who knows how I can open attachments from mails like PDF and so on in a new window so that I just see he attachment not the email text and the attachment?
Mercy

if you're using the iPad's mail application just tap on the attachment and it should open up in a new window with the attachment shown full screen. if you're using a web site to view you're email it's up to the particular site though if you do a long press you may get an option to open the file in a separate window
Really hope that helps

Can't open Mail 2.1 since upgrading to 10.4.9

Since upgrading to OS 10 4.9. my MAIL 2.1 doesn't open. It looks like it's open, the indicator in the dock says so, but I just get the spinning beach ball when I try to access any mail windows in the Mail 2.1 menu. I am able to open my web mail application and get mail from Safari browser but not from the mail 2.1 application. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Problems arising right after installing a system update are usually the result of some filesystem corruption that should have been fixed first, or not having installed the update properly (e.g. applications running while installing it), or having ignored Apple’s "Important: Please read before installing" warnings, etc.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update using the combo installer for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for PowerPC
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update for Intel
After installing the Combo Update, the computer may restart twice and the first restart may take several minutes. This is normal.
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
<hr>
The above may not solve the problem, but should allow us to at least troubleshoot it properly. If the problem persists, proceed as follows:
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Try launching Mail under the following conditions (you may need to force quit it first if it’s running) and post back with your observations:
1. Holding the Shift key down until the main window appears. This tells Mail to not select any mailboxes or load any messages upon start up.
2. With no Internet connection.

Can Not Open Mail CNOM

-The application Mail quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Relaunch to launch the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple.
The above error message appears after I attempt to open the Mail application. Recently the Mail icon was a question mark, however it was found but still clicking on it I can not open Mail. After attempting to click Relaunch twice in a row, during a third time the follow error message appears:
-Do you want to resent application settings for Mail? The application quit unexpectedly after itwas relaunched. Resetting the application settings may fix the problem. You will be givethe opportunity to restore your original settings when you quit the applications.
When I click Reset and Relaunch I am brought back the error mentioned I previously encountered first, ergo the whole problem beings again, and the same thing happens again when I click Relaunch.
When I click Ignore or Do Not Relaunch the application quits, of course. When I click Report the application sends a 'report' page.
Somebody please help me get my mail working again. Thank you.

Really? Nobody has any idea?

I can't open .mov attachments in mail with ios 7.1? Please help?

Hi
Ever since I downloaded ios 7.1 I can't open .mov attachments in my email. I can email a movie file to myself from the same device and when I click to download it, I get a generic icon and it simply goes to a white screen.
I never had this problem until ios 7.1
Help please?

I my case there is no button - I can't even scroll down. But I also don't get any error message, especially not "domain error 912".
If I try to open the .mov file the screen shows the movie-progressbar (where you can normally scroll through the video) for half a second and then the screen goes gray. In the middle of the gray screen I can see the file name and the text "QuickTime-Film" (german version) and the file size. Underneath is a "play-button" (with no reaction if I click on it) and the buttons for forwarding the movie and the button for airplay. No "Download full message"-button.
Seems that we are having different problems with more or less the same result. Again, it only seems to happen with mail which was sent through MS Exchange and it started with IOS 7.1. Therefore I don't think that we can fix it but I hope that someone from Apple is "listening".
My fault! I misunderstood your posting - I was looking for a "download full message"-Button on the screen AFTER clicking on the movie icon. But you meant the mail itself - and there I found it. Thanx! That also explains why small mail went through without problems but larger didn't.

Try backing up your data and upgrading to 10.9.2.

Can't open mail or safari after update

I updated my software when the notice came up and after shutting down and restarting, I can't open mail or safari or itunes. The icons bounce as if starting and then nothing. Can anyone help me with this? I know very little about computers. I am writing this on a PC. (Yikes)

Hi cantfindwan, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
