Document attachments in email -- how do I save them?

I have emails that have attachments in .rtf. and .doc formats that I want to save. How do I make a folder to put them in? Or can this even be done? The user guide says to select a folder or other mailbox to move them to, but there are no other folders or accounts. I don't want to lose these docs by inadvertently deleting the emails, and I don't want the emails cluttering up the mail inbox.

The iPad does not have a standard file system so you cannot just save it as on your computer.
but I want to move the attached docs or, less good, the emails out of the Mail inbox
You can save the email as Carolyn suggested by creating another mailbox or you can open it in another application and it will be saved in the application.
You could get the Dropbox app and save it there then you can download it to your computer.

    Tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Mail off then back on.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your Mail.

  • How can I attach j-pegs and other documents to an email unopened and stop each them taking up a whole page of my email ?

    How can I attach j-pegs and other documents to an email unopened and stop each them taking up a whole page of my email ?

    In addition to the last poster's suggestion  -  just so you know, it also depends on the email program the recipient uses as to how they will see any attachments - for instance, when I am using my Yahoo Mail, I am absolutely unable to view any attachment within the browser window - Yahoo forces me to download it; there is no way for me to check it (like a preview) to see if I want to download it or not.
    And, FWIW: the window shown in the screenshot does not show on my version of Mail 5.1 (which is the latest for 10.7.2); the only one similar shows when viewing a message received with an attachment, not while sending one. So that must be a different version.

  • HT204053 My ipad stores my documents on iCloud. How can I find them from a different computer, as I used to do by using a memory stick on my old PC etc ?

    My ipad stores my documents in iCloud. How can I find them from a different computer?  I used to use a memory stick and could work on my documents on any computer and want to have a replacement system using documents created on my ipad - I can't use a memory stick with it.

    How do you know that they are on iCloud, the iPad can (and does) save locally. If they are on iCloud they will be accessible via the application that created them (Pages, Numbers etc) and can be reached from any computer with iCloud access by logging to iCloud.com. But you did that and stated that they are not there, so what makes you think that they are?

  • My iMessages are coming from my email, how do I get them to come from my phone

    My iMessages are coming from my email, how do I get them to come from my phone number again?

    This forum is intended for questions about old Apple hardware that precedes the PowerMacs, i.e. hardware from the 1990s and earlier, and doesn't get much traffic. Hence it's not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I've asked the Communities Hosts to move your post to the iPhone forum.  You'll be more likely to get assistance there.  Regards.

  • I have pdf files created by a scanner. How do I save them in PDF/A?

    I scanned forms which were used in a project to preserve them. Now I want to save them in a PDF/A format for long term preservation. I have Acrobat Pro XI. When I run the program either in Save As or through the Preflight I get a whole bunch of problems which do not allow me to save it. Can anyone help me do this. I really don't need to do anything to this document after it is saved. I edited it Pro and all I need is Read Only.

    I modified your vi to let you do data collection at any interval you want. The attached two files include the changes, Test vi is the one I used to test the vi functionality. The other method that I mentioned in earlier post is for continuous data acquisition, I'm not sure that will be of any help. Note some other changes made to your original vi.

  • I want to open file attachments, but Firefox forces me to save them to a file

    Firefox forces me to save email attachments that I get, rather than just opening them up. I found the tools menu item that allows me to decide where to save them but it does not seem to give me the option to just open them.

    This is a ridiculously complex solution to something that the Mozilla Foxfire browser used to do automatically. I do not understand why the handling of attachments has to be made this complicated. Previously, I could click download, the download window dialog box would open and I could choose to open, save, delete the file regardless of what type file it is. Now, for no good reason, I click to download, the same window comes up, indicates the file downloads then the file disappears from that window and I have to go to a designated file where it has been saved to open it. Then, I have to remember to delete it from that file if it's not something (most things are not) something I want to keep!
    I've changed the options as provided in the settings for downloads several times but the result is always the same. Why did this change occur? It's enough to make me seriously consider dumping Firefox completely.

    The same way the music was placed on the device.

    Tell iTunes what to sync to the device and sync.

    just 

    for the purchased items from the iTunes Store, you could use transfer of purchases
    for the photos, other music/movie not from itunes, you'll be needing a third party application
    for contacts, calendars , photos from camera roll : you could just directly transfer it from your phone to the computer.

  • After I create a series of tabs, how do I save them so they remain in place when I open and close Firefox?

    I create tabs for google, netflix, aol, etc., but when I close and re-open Firefox, they have disappeared. How do I keep them always in place for faster navigation? Thanks

    Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.

  • Half of my contacts are "synced" with an email address I want to delete off of my iPhone. How do i "save" them?

    I currently have an email address I no longer use on my iPhone. Whenever I delete it, I always lose a bunch of contacts (I can tell because I have random numbers in my text messages). So I always have to add the account back. How do I get those contacts which are apparently attached to the email account (although they are only numbers, no emails) to "save" to my iPhone? I don't even know where to find which ones are going to be deleted until I delete them. Thanks in advance!!

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

    Hi louannesco,
    All you should have to do is touch the ePrint icon (paper with blue rings behind it) in the upper-left corner of the printer's display.  If you log onto ePrintCenter, it will also be displayed on your Printers page below the picture of your printer.
