E-mail and missing attachments

have a weird one for you.
A friend from a neighboring state (who used to be a Mac user) owns an el Cheapo PC. He used to use AOL for his ISP, but he switched to Adelphia.
I've been sending him e-mails lately, and he says the ones I send to him with JPEG image attachments come through with the images okay. However, ones with PDF attachments are another matter. He says that messages I send to him with PDF attachments arrive with no attachments. He also says that when he checks an AIM account he has the same problem. He even forwarded the messages back to me and there are no attachments with them. Other people I send these messages to, including my mother and myself, have no problems.
I'm scratching my head on this one.

I have the same problem. Things worked fine for a while. I was able to see the body of the email plus the attachment. Even was able to open PDFs in iBooks. Now I only see the "Preview". I clock the particular email and I get a blank page with a header... plus no ability to see the attachment. This needs to be addressed in an update.
How did you reset your phone? Did you lose any content in the process?
Thanks

MAIL application doesn't load mail and or attachments

Help! For the longest time, my MAC MAIL that comes with all Apple computers just sits there and LOADS mail when all there is, is just a small email or pictures attached.
for the most part, i'm sure these are all coming from WINDOWS machines but still, other people from windows send me stuff and it's 50/50 that i'll either get the info or i wont.
PLEASE HELP! ANY INFO would be appreciated.

IPad mail and movie attachments

Is there a way so you can watch QT movies in the iPad that come as mail attachments? So far it keeps wanting to open the attachment in a .PDF able app but not on QT

If tapping the AT&T or iPad text instead sends you back up a level to the mailboxes, first tap in the Search box, and then on the AT&T / iPad text.
I can't believe it's taken me, and so many others it seems from the forum posts, so long to find this shortcut. Clearly not the most intuitive!

Mac Mail and Photo attachments

I recently changed my business E-mail client to Mac Mail 3.8 from Eudora. I was very surprised that Mac Mail could not attach a graphic file to an E-mail without actually embedding the file into the E-mail. Mac to Mac my clients could access the file as an attachment, but Mac to PC they could not. I was very surprised to find that the only solution Apple support showed was to compress the graphic file as a zip archive file. This solution is unacceptable as Google Mail disallowed zip files as attachments, and more than a handful of my clients use G-Mail. I found a third party plug-in solution offered by Loki software called Mail Attachments Iconizer http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer which actually works to change the way Mac Mail handles graphic file attachments, so that PC users can access the attached file. I was amazed that there was no mention of this solution on the apple support thread... Now there is!

Welcome to Apple Community forums.
Have you tried using "Send Windows friendly attachments" at the bottom of the attach dialog?

How do I turn off Firefox so I can uninstall. It has created problems with my AOL 9.5 e mail and sound attachments.

I get e mail with hyperlinks that have sound but all I can get is the video and no sound. Example newsmax.com sends e mail alerts with hyper links to topics of interest. When I click on the link it takes me to the video but no sound.
Control panel shows all speakers functioning properly. I can play CDs and have full sound. This only happened after I installed FF. I have AOL9.5 and WIndows 7.

I just tried to open AOL radio and that won't play either. Frustrated.

Unsent e mail and missing outbox?

I have recently upgraded to an I Phone 3GS 16GB, which is great, however i have the following problem with it. When i recently tried to send e mails, it said they couldn't be delivered and were being sent to the outbox. Sure enough they were in there when i checked, but now the outbox has disappeared from my mailboxes list. How do i get it back into my list. I called into my local Apple store (150 miles away) and all they could think of was to reset and start again, which seemed a bit drastic, and quite unhelpful. Anyone any ideas? Cheers John.

The Outbox is only visible when there are unsent messages in it. If there are messages in it, the phone will automatically try to send them at the next opportunity, and once they're sent the Outbox will disappear.
Check in your Sent folder to confirm that the emails are now there (they should be).

Quotes and Graphics in Forwarded mail Received as Attachments

When I forward mail, often inline graphics like company logos show up as attachments and are not displayed where they show up on my computer and and often, but not always, several levels of quoted messages show up on the recipients PCs as either text or html file attachments and are also not displayed as quoted text. When the message is forwarded back to me it looks fine on my Macbook Pro. This seems to be a fairly recent problem. It also seems to be kind of hit and miss. At my company everybody complains. I've called up others who were copied the same message and it displayed OK for them. What can I do?
Snow Leopard 10.6.7, Mac Mail 4.5. Messages mostly sent/received via Microsoft Exchange Server.

With recipients using Outlook or Outlook Express, this is common behavior with messages heavily laden with HTML or RTF when forwarded. Probably will work if before sending you click on Format in the menubar and choose Make Plain Text. Assumes the HTML/RTF not critical, of course.

Missing attachments in Mail since Moutnain Lion upgrade

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, all attachments to Mac Mail are missing. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi, my colleague and I are on go daddy IMAP accounts using Mail.
We have the problem whereby when we open an email (with attachment) on our iPhones first, then the attachment has disappeared when we view the same message in Mail on our macs.
I hav contacted go daddy and they say it's a Mac/Mail issue.
Any ideas on how we can solve this?

How to remove mails (and attachments) permanently?

Hi!
I just realized my Archive.mbox (~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes) is quite big (8.5GB) and I decided to remove old mails with large attachments.
As I use GMail account via POP3, first I removed mails from the Google account and I freed up about 1.5GB extra space. Later, I searched for mails with attachments in Mail.app, then sorted then and started to remove and emptied the trash. This operation was quite weird as some of them where moved to the Trash folder, some not.
As I was controlling the space of the Mailboxes folder this is what I noticed:
- Archive.mbox - the size of the mbox didn't change (anyone know why?)
- Deleted Messages.mbox increases while removing another mails then decreased while wiping it out (this is what I expected)
In summary, I removed a lot of mails and didn't free up ANY space! Does anyone know how to do it properly?
Also, while googling I found out about "Mail Downloads" folder which is moved from Library to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads. As I set "Remove unedited downloads" to "When Mail Quits" can I simply remove all subdirs from this dictionary to save some space? This folder is only used for copy of attachments, right?
Thanks for anwers,
Bart

Each IMAP account it's own Archive folder. POP accounts all share the same Archive folder.
I removed a POP account in Mail but the archive messages did not delete. You would need to move them out of the Archive folder then trash to remove if you have archived other POP account messages. However, if it's only the one account, you can manually delete this folder in the User's Library then rebuild the Mail index.
Quit Mail
Go to the User's Library folder. This folder is hidden by default. To unhide: Select the Finder in the Dock. Under Go in the Menu bar > hold down the Option key and you’ll see the Library.
Scroll to Mail folder.
Mailboxes folder stores the "On My Mac" messages. IMAP accounts store it's Archive folder in the account's folder.
In Mailboxes you'll find the Archive folder. Delete.
In the MailData folder, delete the 3 files with envelope in the name.
Open Mail and it will reindex your messages.
Let me know if this helps.

Is there a setting or an app that shows e-mail notifications without having to unlock the screen...like SMS and missed calls?

Is there a setting or an app for the iPhone 4 that allows you to see that you have new mail messages from the "lock screen" like SMS and missed call messages? My primary e-mail account is MS Exchange and I'm running iOS 5. Thanks!

Settings > Notifications > Mail > View in Lock Screen > ON

How to include attachments with e-mail and to verify that they have been sent.

When I try to attach a document or photo to an e-mail and use "browse" to find the attachment, then click it. The only option is open. When I click that there is no evidence or indication that the attachment has been made. How can I attach photos or documents to e-mail messages? Then, how can I verify that the attachments have really been sent with the message?

* Outgoing (SMTP) server: you need to use your ISP (Internet Service Provider) SMTP server. Call your ISP to know your SMTP (mail sending) server. In case you are unable to get SMTP server, you can use WebMail for email sending.
For OUTGOING MAIL SERVER I am required to add the following:
HOST NAME
(usually looks like smtp.example.com - Since I have Comcast as my it would look like smtp.comcast.net)
USER NAME optional
PASSWORDptional
Since you use comcast, you have comcast e-mail. You need to ask them what the correct settings are to set up your comcast e-mail account on a mobile device and plug in the same information for the outgoing (SMTP) server for the account you're trying to set up.
Warning: I'll predict now that a lot of your e-mail will get filtered as spam on the receiving end because the domain name in your email address is NOT going to match the domain name of the server it's originating from.
You might want to look into a mail service provider that actually provides their own outgoing mail servers.

Can't drag and drop attachments in mail. Major issue!

I have to restart the computer to drag and drop attachments to an email. If I want to do another drag and drop to another email I have to restart again to make it work. It is a real pain. Do any of you guys know if their is a file I can trash to make this work or I have to wait till apple has a update to fix this? Thanks.

When this happens can you drag and drop regular files and icons etc?
I did a clean install, setup several user accounts last night. Dragging and dropping was working in my main user account last night. This morning (computer on all night) I could not drag and drop anything in that particular user account including mail attachements. Other accounts worked fine. Thought it was a permissions issue but they were fine.
Ended up trashing the user account and resetting it up and everything back to normal.
