Cannot download attachments from mail application

when opening attachments from emails, i have recently had to go [via safari] into my .mac account to download directly.
if i try to do this via mail, it stops responding and i eventually have to force quit.
any ideas?
thanks

JT,
Please test with Don't Keep Any Copies for Offline Viewing. I am trying to relate what is being report in this Topic, to that discussed in an earlier Topic, at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=253262&tstart=0
In the latter case, a symbol of a pie, or timer is seen beside the Inbox of the .mac account, indicating activity is still going on. Keeping the copies is only related to your Mac, and not the server, and unless you are going to view while Offline, are not necessary.
I am not suggesting this should have to be the case, but rather gathering more info about a general problem (but one I don't notice on my primary computer), and to provide a temporary workaround.

I cannot download attachments from mail

I tap on an attachment and it tells me it's unable to download the attachment

Hi Thank you for getting back to me . When I click on Save ( save to my compuer) i get a quick scanning attachment and nothing happens after that. Browsing through different answers to in the support groups I found that someone else facing the same problem decided to forward to the mail to a different email account and try downloading. Yahoo to Gmail as in my case. I tried that and it worked. However I would prefer to solve this issue from yahoo mail.

Apparently there was an answer to the problem in the past but it seems to have now been deleted/archived?
Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
so far I have tried a different browser, deleted cache. history, checked if files are being downloaded elsewhere, folders, desktop etc ( they are maent to go to downloads) Created a new used id for my computer logged in from it and tried.
but forwarding the same mail to my Gmail account and downloading from there has worked.
Thank you.

All of a sudden I cannot download attachments. How do I fix this?

all of a sudden I cannot download attachments. How do I fix this?

I have the same or similar problem. Using the Mac OS mail client, two PDF attachments to a received message are shown garbled. Here is an extract of what I see :

So I log into iCloud and try to see how these attachments show up. They seem to be there since I see this:
but when I try and download the files, they appear in my download folder as 0 byte files, ending in .pdf.html.
This is very annoying. I saw and could read these files yesterday, but cannot today.

Is there a way to download attachments from Mail to view on the Home Screen

Hi,
I was wondering if there was any way to download the attachments of a mail message to you Home Screen? I have tried pressing and holding the attachment, put nothing happens.
Answers will be appreciated

You can view attachments in e-mail, you cannot download them.

Cannot download attachments with vista on HP laptop

I cannot download any attachments / files (pdf, jpg, etc.) using my HP laptop running Vista Home Premium with web-based email programs Juno.com or mail.com ; the problem started several weeks ago. This HP laptop is an AMD Turion Dual-Core.

Hi Hans,
your link just says what I already wrote in my post :-( - the question is: is there anything that can be done about this? Is there anything that NI will do about this? What am I supposed to tell my customer with an HP notebook? "Sorry mate, HP notebooks are not supported by us"?
cheers

I cannot open attachments in Mail

Suddenly, I cannot open any attachments in mail.

I see it's been sometime since this problem was posted, but in case it's helpful...
I found a solution to be to goto "View," then, "Message," and then choose "Best Alternative."
This suddently allowed the attachment to be visible for me. I am not certain why this happens, may be related to Outlook 2011 formats for sending emails, but this is merely conjecture. I tested some emails (both to iCloud and Gmail) with attachments and did not have the same problem.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Will

Windows Live Mail - Cannot download BT Yahoo Mail ...

I've been trying on and off for about 4 hours to download my btinternet e-mails to Windows Live Mail.
BT web mail is working correctly (sending/receiving).
I have numerous accounts set up in WLM so that all my btinternet, gmail and hotmail e-mails are all in one place.
All 9 of my btinternet mail accounts stall on Finding host... and the message eventually shown is The connection to the server has failed.
My 4 gmail account and 5 hotmails accounts DO download to WLM.
(Although I dont use Outlook Express anymore, I have my main btinternet account still there. So I launched OE and that too stalled on Finding host...).
So does anyone know - are there known problems today with server?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Same issue for about 3 days now. Web mail working but cannot download incoming emails with windows live mail.
BT support bl**dy useless as usual and we have to pay for the priveledge of using it . . .
The solution offered in one of the links below is for Outlook 2007 - will this solution work with Windows Live Mail? Is peerblock still recommended? How do we know when our email has been migrated away from Yahoo and what are the email client settings we need to use?
Any advice will be grateful, and the more detailed the better as I am reasonable tech savvy but not an IT guy :-)
Thanks

Cannot download attachments.

I have a message saying the server connection failed when trying to download attachments from my emails on iPad. How can I fix this problem?

Have you tried quitting the mail app completely?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Launch mail again and see if you can open the attachment.
Have you gone to your webmail account using Safari to see if you can open the attachment that way? .... just to rule out an issue with the attachment itself. The message you are getting in the mail app would seem to indicate that is not the problem but it's one more thing to try to rule out as the problem.

Cannot download PDF from Mail

Hi,
When I receive a PDF in an email, it is embedded and I cannot download it and send it to GoodReader or wherever. When I click over it, it simply gives me the options "Save Image" and "Copy".
How can view PDF attachments as PDF attachments so they can then be saved to a PDF Reader App.
Thanks.
Rob.

It is strange. I cannot get to open a PDF file on my iPad.
Is it by default?
I can work it around using GoodReader to acces my email accounts but we talk about a major issue here.

TS3988 Cannot download attachments in emails

I did a hard reset on my iPhone just recently. I went through and set up my iCloud items. When I go to download attachments from emails I get the following message: "The connection to the server failed". Any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

WHat attachments? What "Adobe"? What did you do? You need to explain better and provide the necessary technical information.

Cannot download attachments from Yahoo! Mail in Firefox or Safari. It scans and that's it...

Also, I no longer see the download icon in upper right corner of mail screen. It's a circle with a downward facing arrow and it's just gone.

Cannot send attachments in Mail using .mac account, pop account is fine!

Within my Mail.app, I have 2 accounts: one is a .mac account, the other a pop account.
When I send attachments (jpg always and sometimes pdf) with the .mac account, they do not get encoded properly and my recipients cannot view them -- or they can view, say, 10% of the photo.
When I send the same attachments with the pop account, and within the same Mail.app, I do NOT have this problem.
Furthermore, if I send the attachment from my .mac webmail, I do NOT have the problem.
Does Mail.app have a problem with attachments sent via IMAP accounts?
I have tried Repairing Permissions, deleting the outbox.mbx (and emptying the trash).
Does anyone have any other suggestions? This is driving me crazy.
I am running Mail 2.0.5 on Tiger 10.4.3
Thanks a lot in advance, Neil

Hello Neil.
Does Mail.app have a problem with attachments sent via IMAP accounts?
None that I'm aware of.
The Mail.app uses MIME 1.0 for message/attachment encoding (which is the internet standard) for all email accounts.
Is your POP account and the SMTP server used for the account provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet?
If so, try selecting/using your ISP's SMTP server (the same SMTP server used to send mail via your ISP's POP account) to send mail via your .Mac account as a test.
