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.

Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Cannot send Email with Mail since updated to 10.7.2, they stay in my Send Box...

Since I updated, I cannot send Email through Mail, it works with Thunderbird though.

Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app. I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send. I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success. Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem. As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work. So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem.

Send Email Notification - Time Based Workflow

Hi,
I have a requirement similar to the ones posted on this thread Re: Send notification on pre-defined date
but have couple of questions on the logic. Can anyone please suggest a solution for this requirement
The requirement is to send an email notification to an owner if the Opportunity remains with sales Stage = "Inquiry" for more than 90 days.
Here's what I tried
Work Flow Name - Opp Closure - New
Trigger Event - When New Record Saved
Rule Condition : Sales stage = "Inquiry" and modified date = Created date
Action
Wait -
Period - 90 days
Send Email
Wait 7 days
Updates Slaes Stage from " Inquiry" to "Closed/Lost"
The above workflow will take care of New opportunties that are created and never modified
I am having issues figuring out the logic for modified record
Work flow Name - Opp Closure - Mod1
Trigger Event - When Modified Record Saved
Rule condition : sales Stage = "Inquiry" and <IndexedBoolean> IS NULL or <IndexedBoolean> = "N"
Action
Wait - 90 days
Workflow Name - Opp Closure - Mod2
Trigger Event - When Modified Record Saved
Rule Condition : Sales stage = "Inquiry" and <IndexedBoolean> IS NULL or <IndexedBoolean> = "N" and (today()-<LastUpdate>) > 89
Action
Wait - 0 days
Send Email
Wait 7 days
Updates Slaes Stage from " Inquiry" to "Closed/Lost"
Update IndexedBoolean = 'Y'
But here I am confused about a scenario where after waiting for 90 days when it exceutes Opp Closure - Mod2 and if its been 20 days since the record was last modified, the condition fails and actions do not get executed which is fine but what if the record is never modified after that period and remains in Inquiry status , how will I capture that scenario and execute the workflow actions. Please advise
Regards,
SKJ

Hello SKJ
Your requirement is to send an email notification to an owner if the Opportunity remains with sales Stage = "Inquiry" for more than 90 days.
New Record Saved.
This means even the opportunity can be modified but the sales stage should not change. For e.g. when i create a new record, I can have the sales stage as "Inquiry" and save. At a later date I can modify the description of the opportunity (this would change the modified date), but the sales stage remains at Inquiry. Thus the notification should go 90 days after the sales stage has been set and not since last modified date. Keeping this in mind the condition the rule condition "Rule Condition : Sales stage = "Inquiry" and modified date = Created date" needs to be modified as Sales stage = "Inquiry".
Coming to Modified Condition:
Trigger Event - When Modified Record Saved
Rule Condition : (PRE('<SalesStage>')<>[<SalesStage>] AND [<SalesStage>]="Inquiry") OR ([<SalesStage>]="Inquiry")
Wait 90 Days
Revaluate Conditon = 'Y'
Action Send Email Notification
Explanation
When you set the sales Stage as "Inquiry", the condition (PRE('<SalesStage>')<>[<SalesStage>] AND [<SalesStage>]="Inquiry") would be satissfied and then the workflow would trigger. After 90 days if the sales stage is still in "Inquiry", the second part of the condition "[<SalesStage>]="Inquiry" would be satisfied and the email notification would be sent. If the sales stage has been changed to other sales stage, then the condition would fail and the notification would not be sent.

How to prevent send email more time

Hi guys if i have two vaiable and i make comparison as following
timer_tick event every i hours
if (a==b)
send email
but i need if a==b send email one time and if send email already not send again and again
not every time see a==b send email more time
only one time if condition happen
How i do that

You need to set one of a or b to false (if we talking about boolean variables here) after sending the email, and then you have to set back to true when you want to send another email, below is an explanation:
if(//new sendmail){
b=a;
if (a==b)
//send email
b=false;

I can no longer open pdf files since updating my OS

I can no longer open pdf's since updating to iOS 5.0.1 - how can this be corrected?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Thanks! But seriously why have Apple disabled the info sync on iTunes? By 'Upgrading' to Mavericks I've inadvertantly disabled my Apple mobile devices from fulfilling their function. Come on Apple work with us here!!
Apple told developers they were removing that service over two years ago. The developers that depended upon it should have done something about it.
Why did they remove it? My guess is because it was pretty crappy, was difficult to maintain, and wasn't a good solution for multiple devices that could get the info without tethering to a "base" Mac.

Send Email Notification based on UPDATE

Hi,
a simple issue : how can I send an automatic Email Notification based on whether or not a particular field/attribute has been updated ?
Currently, in my User Form, I have "Checkboxes" to handle this task. The Checkbox code is as follows :
<Field name='global.FirstNameUpdate'>
<Display class='Checkbox'>
<Property name='Title' value='Tick this box if the user's first name has been changed'/>
</Display>
</Field>
In other words, if the First Name is changed at any time (or edited/updated), the Checkbox there will be ticked. When this happens, an automatic Email Notification is sent to whomever-it-concerns, saying : "Good morning. Your First Name has been changed/updated".....blah blah blah
For now, this works fine.
But, this system is not a good one. The reason is obvious : what if the First Name is changed more than ONCE?
(Of course, a person's first name is never changed. But, this is just an example)
What if the Field/Attribute in question, is something that is changed often? Like : the person's Address, or Age, or Marital Status, etc, etc
Obviously, a Checkbox is useless, because it can be ticked only once.
What I need is a way for my Update-User Workflow to detect any changes that are made in the User Form, and, based on this changes/updates, it can trigger an Email Notification.
I know that this is a simple issue. I just don't know how to do it.
What code/syntax should I use in my Update-User Workflow, to *"search for"* updates?

Why i cant send emails after the os7 update on my iphone 5

I cannot send emails,but I get them, what is going on????

If your mail server requires the security of SSL, then it would not work without it. If you had to disable SSL for it to work, then your email provider does not use SSL for security. You cannot fix what isn't broke. The email provider sets the rules for sending and receiving mail. SSL is just one layer of it, and they may just use username and password for security and not requireing SSL. The only way that you can change that is to change providers. If it doesn't work with SSL now, it probably never did. I wouldn't say that your mail has an "obvious security issue".

Cand send emails from Iphone since I changed my hotmail password

please help me? I have inoutted my new password into the settings, as well as tried closing and rebooting my phone.. Neither of which worked.

I can no longer send emails on iPad, only phone and pc using live.com . Error message "incorrect email address or password" however, same email address and password on phone and pc. Why?

Cant send emails with talktalk since upgrading

since upgrading Xos i cannot send emails with talktalk, i can receive them and still send on ipad and iphone. any one else had the same experience thanks

You need to send through the smtp address provided by your mobile network or switch your mobile email to an imap provider such as gmail or an apple .me account as these tend to work.

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