Cannot open mime attachments (winmail.dat) on my iPhone 4.0 ? Please Help!

I am a Doctor by profession and I need to access my email & its attachments asap and on the go, because they contain vital info like patient charts, flight details, work appointments etc.
I have just bought my iPhone 4.0, but I didn't know that the first hurdle I'll face would be that I cannot access this simple mime attachment!
I sidelined the Blackberry for an iPhone and now I'm ruing my decision. Can anyone please suggest a method for me to access this winmail.dat attachment.
Please HELP!

RIM addresses this with their dedicated email delivery service for the Blackberry. Completely different from the iPhone's Mail app, all email with a Blackberry goes through RIM's dedicated email delivery service. The iPhone's Mail app communicates direct with the incoming mail server for an email account - no different from accessing an email account with an email client on your computer.
This is a Microsoft problem, and Apple doesn't include an option to convert RTF or HTML to plain text, which I don't believe would make any difference if this were an option with the iPhone's Mail app since I believe this isn't done direct with the Blackberry - this is done at the server with RIM's dedicated email delivery service for the Blackberry.

    The iPad receives Text Messages through Apple's iMessage feature. Make sure this is turned on on your phone. Also, text messages received at your phone number are not shared with the iPad. Make sure that iMessage texts are being sent to your EMAIL ADDRESS

  • Any Mozilla product I install crashes at startup. The first window I see when I open a Mozilla product is the crash reporter. I have tried every possible solution but cannot open anything. It started with firefox. Can anyone please help?

    Hi there, as the question says, I cannot open any Mozilla product. I have tried to install firefox 3.6, older versions of Firefox, Firefox 4.0, Sea Monkey, Thunder Bird and Sun Bird. I have the same problem everytime. I open any of these programs and the first and the only window that appears is the crash reporter. I've tried opening it in Safe Mode and the same occurs. I have tried entirely uninstalling the products incuding the registry keys but no help. I shall post the detailed error reports, if they help solving this issue. Can you kindly look into this and find a solution as I use all of these Mozilla products and my life has been a hell since they've ben down.

    Same problem over here as well, FF 7 is ok but FF8 / FF9 and Thunderbird 8 / 9 crash on startup.
    They both work if I start them in safe mode with everything enabled.

  • 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.

    the following day what happened is, i did try what was mentioned in the link BlackBerry 10. Restoring Backup after a firmware downgrade. i did exactly the same but it FAILED, and i got this error (there could have been a problem with the device or connection during the restore. Verify that the device is turned on and connected) and then device restarts afterwards, hence, i started to get this error message after i updated to latest OS 10.2.1.539 but when i tried to restore the back up when i was running the previous OS 10.2.0.424 the error message was ( the back up isn't compatible etc... ) this is really confusing, my device is working just fine and its properly connected with no problems, ive been searching and looking for solutions all over the internet but no luck , im really exhausted ive been working on my q5 for almost 26 hours, im just praying to get this fixed.

    If you do a search you should be able to find extractor software for your backup files usually around 20 or 25 dollars.

  • I cannot open the project assets box in premiere elements 12. Please help

    I recently started a new project in Premiere elements 12. I added media but when I try to open my project assets, it will not open and I can not add any media to the timeline! This is very annoying please help me out

    jubgh
    Thanks for the follow up.
    Just to confirm...
    at this time, Project Assets will not open with any new projects. But, if you take an old project (which has been saved closed before the problem set in) can you open that project and use an opened Project Assets Palette?
    If you have not already, please work through the suggestions in the link posted in post 1 of this thread. Do any of them work for you?
    In the meanwhile, let us delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder in which it exists.
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    12.0
    and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. And, if the does not work, delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that you can see the path cited.
    Also, be sure to be working from the 12.1 Update of the program. The 12.1 Update is accessed from an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
    Thank you.

    Winmail.data are not usable files. They just preserve RTF within the message.

  • I cannot open mail attachments on my iPhone 4S.  I have reset it 3 times and lost Bluetooth once, but at least it's back on.

    I cannot open mail attachments on my iPhone 4S.  I have reset 3 times and actually lost Bluetooth once, but at least that's back on now.

    Try to set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    First without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data.
    If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.

  • Unrecocognisable email attachments WINMAIL.DAT

    my N95-8Gb sometimes receive unrecocognisable email attachments (WINMAIL.DAT). I can read maybe 1st line of the email msg but unable to view anymore than this. From what I can gather is that msgs seem to be in a format that my n95-8Gb cannot decipher and it just renames the file.
    As I read I generally read all my emails in the html, this is very frustrating....
    Anybody got any ideas, help
    N95 8GB is the Best.

  • Cannot open PDF attachments in email, get administrator logon using Acrobat X?

    Cannot open PDF attachments in email, get administrator logon using Acrobat X?

    I have no problem opening PDF attachments that arrive in my Outlook 2003 Inbox; they open fine with Adobe Reader 9. It may be an issue with your email client.
    But if you think that Adobe Reader 8 will fix it, you can download it from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdbeRdr813_en_US.exe - make sure that you uninstall Reader 9 first (and Acrobat.com & Adobe AIR).

  • I think the last update did not work, and now I cannot open jpeg attachments with windows picture and fax viewer, it is not listed in the tools/options drop dow

    I don't believe the last Thunderbird update worked, there was a very fast error message. But since then I cannot open jpeg attachments in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. If I go to Tools, then options, the jpeg line is grayed out, and the drop down menu does not show Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. The windows picture and fax viewer still works on my computer, but not for opening attachments.

    I did as you said - deleted the entry for jpeg, but when I tried to open one there is not an option for Picture and Fax Viewer in the drop down, and it can't be found by browsing. It's just not there anywhere even though I can see pics in it except in email attachments.
