Can't see attachments in mail

Why do the attachments I receive via email disappear?  I can view them on my iPad or iPhone, but when I got to view them on my computer, the email either doesn't have an attachement icon (paperclip), or I can't find the attachement it says is there.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click 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. Post your results.
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 (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.

  • ICloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?

    Question for those who know iCloud.
    If I am using iCloud + Apple mail; can I see content in mail folders on my mac?
    Have 2 email accounts currently (yahoo and gmail), and use smart rules to move my email to them for organization automatically, issue is then I cannot see them on my iPhone mail, they are there, then "gone" when moved to the iMac folder.

    I don't see any evidence of an iCloud account there - do you actually have an @icloud.com address? iCloud syncs only its own email, it has no relationship to any other service.
    However, if both your Mac and your iPhone are receiving, for example, Gmail, and you move a message on your Mac from the Gmail mailbos to a mailbox in the list under 'On My Mac' then this removes it from the GMail mailbox and as it's only on the Mac the iPhone cannot see it. In order to do what you want you have to create any new mailboxes on the GMail account itself and move the messages there.

  • I sudden can't see my past mails anymore?

    My mailbox was empty and i can't see my past mails. I restarted but still à problem!

    Did you try quitting the mail app and then restart?
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Try this as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    I can't see right my mails. I have to double-click in my mail for reading it. Otherwise, the only think I can see, is the list of my mails. Could you help me please?

    Go to the right side of the list view and place your cursor over the edge until it turns into a double arrow, then click and drag to the left.
    If using the Classic layout, go to the bottom of the screen and after getting the double arrow, click and drag up.

  • Can't see the RSS mail.

    Hi everybody!
    My phone downloads mail, when I turn it on.........no problem there.
    The problem comes, when Apple has sent RSS feed to mail.
    It does not show up in mail on the phone.
    The only thing that happens is, that on the homepage on the phone, it shows 2 mails. When I go into the mail program, I can not see the mail.........Therefor I can not delete the mails.
    So on the homescreen on my phone, it keeps telling me, that I have 2 mails and I can not get rid of that notice.
    What can I do?
    Regards

    Hi!
    Figured this out for my self.
    Just needed to go into mobilme, and delete the mails there.
    Regards

    The Junk Mail reset feature resets the Junk Mail "learned" settings back to square one only.
    Using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) - for the account that does not have a visible junk mailbox under Junk in the mailboxes drawer.
    Within a POP account named folder for Jaguar or Panther Mail should be a MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file and mbox files (with an .mbox extension) and no folders.
    Confirm there is a Junk.mbox named file and not a Junk named folder. If there is a Junk named folder, quit Mail first and using the Finder, change the name of the Junk folder to Junk.mbox or add the .mbox extension.
    Launch Mail and this should resolve the problem.
    Changing Junk Mail from Automatic to Training and back to Automatic can cause this so even when using the Junk Mail reset feature, you can leave Junk Mail set to Automatic.
    The Junk Mail filter "learns" in the same way regardless if set to Training or Automatic and will continue to "learn' when set to Automatic. The only difference between these settings is messages that are automatically or manually marked as Junk are automatically moved from the account's Inbox mailbox to the account's Junk mailbox.

  • 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.

  • Can't See Recipients in Mail

    Started using Lion recently.  In Mail, I can't see who the recipients are in an email that was sent to me.  Only by clicking reply all can I see who was included.  I looked in Preferences but couldn't find the answer there.  I assume this is a quick fix that I'm just missing.  Any suggestions? Thanks.

    I think i must be going blind becasue i have been looking for an hour and cannot see anywhere that says 'details '
    theres a little greyed out toolbar with delte/reply/reply all buttons at the top of the mail preview window, but no where that says details . ONly way i can see the list ofd recipients is by reply all .
    ps i am in organise by conversion view
    PSS this is LION MAIL, latest version ...so probablt they just removed it??

  • 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
