Cannot Download Large Attachments from .Mac Into Mail

I recently opened a .Mac account, and can't download any emails with attachments larger than about 300k into Mail. Smaller attachments will eventually download, but take an age (2-3minutes minimum). The progress 'clock' alongside the Inbox icon in Mail won't complete a full revolution (I assume from this Mail isn't syncing properly with the .Mac server) and I have to force quit the program to get it to close.
I can, however, send and receive emails OK otherwise, and if I go into my .Mac account via webmail I can download any attachments from there no problem, at a normal rate for my broadband connection (1Mb on Tiscali). Apple Support couldn't help much, and suggested I post here. Any ideas?? It's driving me mad! Ta in advance. BBM

BBM,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Do you have an email account provided by your ISP?
If so, does it exhibit anything like this behavior?
In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced, what are your
selections for Keep copies for Offline Viewing?
Ernie
Hi Ernie, and sorry for the slow reply, been away for a few days. My ISP email account doesn't exhibit any of this, and the advanced settings for .mac are to keep all messages and attachments. Going by other posts on similar topics, it looks like a major bug in Mail/.mac syncing. Have you heard of any progress in solving it at Mac's end yet? Regards, BBM

Cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail

I cannot copy and paste from Word into Mail. Neither from using the keyboard shortcuts, or using the Menu function. I can copy and paste from other applications into Mail- but for some reason, text copied from a Word document (both in .txt and .doc formats) will not paste into an open email. Anyone else have this issue? It's a new issue. I used to be able to do this easily.

I had similar issues starting about the same time or within the past week. However, I can copy and paste, it just takes considerably longer than it used to before. Copying something from a web page into Word could take up to 30 seconds now on my computer but it shows a busy mouse pointer while it is loading, then clicks/pops when it loads into the Word document, but then actually takes about another 5 to 10 seconds to appear in the Word document. I have no idea why it is delaying now when it did not do it before, but since it is still going into the document I am living with it for now. Are you waiting long enough to see if it appears?

Cannot download any attachments from my email on iOS 6

When trying download attachment from emails after downloading iOS 6 I get an error message that says I cannot download attachment. Prior to iOS 6 these same attachments would pull up with no problems

Did you figure this out?
Do you see an option to "download full message" at the bottom of the email? (See the attached photo showing the "download full message" button at the bottom of the email window).
My mom was having a problem like yours on her iPod. Referring to the photo attached to this forum post, if she tapped on "image.jpeg" she would get a pop-up error that said "cannot download attachment" and her only option was to tap OK on the pop-up to clear it. We figured out that scolling to the bottom of the message and tapping on "download full message" would successfully download the image.jpeg file attached to the email.

Can't download PDF attachments from Hotmail

Hi,
For the past 3 - 4 weeks, I have been unable to download PDFs attached to Hotmail messages. The Windows forum has been unable to help.
I'm running Windows 7, IE 9 and using Acrobat X standard.
So far I have cleared my cache and reinstalled silverlight as the Windows guys suggested. I also restored my computer to a point in the past when I could download attachments.
I can download PDFs from web sites, and open existing documents. I cannot download PDF attachments from other email accounts (such as my academic account).
Any thoughts?

If there is an option to download in binary mode, be sure that is selected. I do not have HotMail and have no clue what options might be available.

Mail 4.5 (1084) is not automatically downloading larger attachments.

Mail 4.5 (1084) is not automatically downloading larger attachments (i.e. a 2 MB file) without the user clicking on the SAVE button or the attachment icon (white square with down arrow).
Before download:
The problem is that if the user accidentally deletes the message before downloading the attachment, and then views that message in the trash OR moves the message from the trash back to inbox, the attachment is lost and message appears garbled up.
This is not a problem if user clicks SAVE or clicks attachment icon itself before deleting it - message and attachment will be readable in trash and when restored to inbox.
Question:
Is there a way to force Mail to download all attachment regardless of size without requiring user interaction?
Thank you
ig

Actually smaller attachments are downloaded automatically, or perhaps it depends on attachment type?
Try the same with say 2MB .PPT file .. email the file to yourself. It will come through as "click to download" icon (see image above). Trash the message (before SAVE or clicking on attachment), now try opening it in the trash or pulling it back to inbox and then open it. Attachment is gone and you get garbage - clearly extra data is there but is non-readable.
Not a big issue for a single user - potentially very big issue for an admin supporting large number of end-users, some of which are recent Outlook transplants.
Btw, I'm using IMAP server and I have enabled "Store deleted messages on the server"

Trouble downloading all attachments from email

Hey There,
I am absolutely frustrated that I can not download any attachments from my yahoo email!
Recently, someone gained access to my computer and read private files. This lead me into a spin of security over haul. I activated all the security settings in the System Preferences (set a master password and ticked all the boxes), as well as tried to retrieve my files (which they deleted) using a demo version of Stellar Phoenix and Disk Warrior to no success.
But since I've done all of the above in the last few weeks, I can not download any attachments (word, pdf, jpg anything) from my yahoo email.
I click on the attachment icon to download. This then appears in the downloads box. It starts to load but then gives up at "9.3kb of ?". saying that it "cannot create the file". I click on the refresh button next to the details and it prepares the download, but ends up not being able to create the file.
Would this be a Safari problem or would it be due to the security settings that I have recently activated?
Please help me!

No luck unfortunately
I turned off all the security preferences I could (Filevault, waking the computer with password etc), except for the master password, and I still am having the same problem of my email attachments not downloading.
While using Stellar Phoenix Demo to try and recover my deleted files,I had to create a new account, one for myself and one for the Root. Could creating either of these possibly have an effect? I know how stupid that sounds but the separate accounts and the master password being set are the only two options left that I can't change and I'm still having problems downloading attachements.

Emails are receiving as splitted attachments from mac to outlook

emails are receiving as splitted attachments from mac to outlook.
If i send to any of other outlook users, whole email body will split and receiving as attachment, like ATT00001.htm. but all other recipients thinks that it is empty email.
If i remove any attachment from the same email, it will receive properly. the problem is happened only we attaching any documents with the email, it will split the mail body into two three attacment and will attach with original document.

Send a test e-mail to yourself and see if it appears normal. The problem may be Outlook, not Mail. Once you send the e-mail, you have no control over how the received e-mail is displayed in another e-mail program.

I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.

I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.
I know my icloud has record of my installing this app before, but that was the first install that was failed during that time some other apps also keeps loading without respond whey they updated itself, and this app didn't install before I restart the device. But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
I have no problem install this app on my other device (iPad) with the same account, but just fail on my iPhone. And it just fine installing other apps...... What happened !!?? @@
Please help !!!

Someone help! I dont know how to do this and please put the words into an easy way to understand because im young...

Can't import from Eudora into Mail

I'm trying to import mailboxes from Eudora into Mail. Unfortunately, Mail crashes right in the middle of the process. Has anyone had this problem? If it can't be solved, is there a way to do this manually? Finally, if all else fails, what do you consider to be a good email program other than Mail? I'd like to upgrade to Snow Leopard and

Last I knew, Eudora ran fine under 10.5.8
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 at the top of the screen. (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."

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.)

I have Elements 9 and cannot download NEF files from my new Nikon1 v1, any help appreciated

I have Elements 0 and cannot download NEF files from my new Nikon1 V1, any help is appreciated.

PSE 9 is too old for any of the versions of ACR that support the 1 V1. You have three options:
1. Upgrade to PSE 10 or 11.
2. Use the Nikon software to convert the raw files and send the resulting tiffs to PSE for further editing.
3. Try the free Adobe DNG converter, and you should be able to open the resulting DNGs in your version of ACR.
