E50 Problem opening attachments in Mail For Exchan...

Hi,
I am helping out a user at our office with a Nokia E50 and we can't manage to open/save attachments from emails.
If we try we get an error message explaining that there's a problem with the connection. However downloading mail works flawless so there shouldn't be any problems with the connection.
Other users with other brands / models does not share this issue so there should not be any problems with server.
The phone is using the latest stable phone software and Mail For Exchange 1.5.0.
Any suggestions?

Not sure why you can't add attachments other than by dragging onto a new Mail window, but you might want to make sure that you have Windows-Friendly Attachments selected in Mail's Edit menu. Also, clicking on the attachment in the body of the email and selecting 'view as icon' sometimes helps recipients receive the attachment.
On a general note, sometimes Mail's handling of attachments is lacking, in my experience - especially when sending them to PC-users. Most users don't seem to have a problem but some do. The only way I have managed to ensure that Mail handles all attachments as hoped and ensure that recipients have no problems with them is to install the paid for plugin called Attachment Tamer. You can run it in demo mode to test it before deciding to buy: http://lokiware.info/
(I've no connection with Lokiware, just happy to recommend their software which I have used for some years).

  • Word won't open attachments in Mail

    Hi,
    I'm using Mail to get my email via POP. When attachments come with a message, I have problem opening them when they're Word documents. I get the error "The application “Microsoft Word” failed to open the attachment “Chasteen Resume SEPT 2007.doc”. Would you like to save the file to disk?"
    When it's a PDF, and I click on it, Preview automatically opens and opens the attachment without a problem.

    Hi Ernie,
    Yes, if I save them, they open without issue.
    In fact, if I choose "open with" and choose "MS Word" then it opens in Word. However, there are two entries for "MS Word" in that list of available applications -- one works and one doesn't. So it appears that Mail thinks that my MS Word application lives somewhere that it doesn't, but if I manually tell it where Word is, then it is fine.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "Is you copy of Mail located in the Microsoft Office folder (2004?) in the Applications folder?". Both Mail and the MS Office folder are located in the Applications folder. Should I put Mail inside the MS Office folder?
    "In Mail Preferences/General what are your setting regarding the Download folder?"
    It's set to the default "Mail downloads" folder. When I change it to a particular folder (eg., a downloads folder in my Documents folder" that doesn't help.

  • 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

  • Problems opening ical/iphoto/mail etc after restoring from time machine

    hello everybody, hope you can help me!!!
    Problem...
    I got a new HardDisk installed in my Macbook from 2006.
    I made sure all the software was up to date an made a full backup on Time Machine before bringing it to the Mac Store.
    Back home i plugged it in and put the Snow Leopard installation disk, choose installation, chose my preferred language, selected Utilities > Restore System from Backup... and after one hour my laptop restarted and seemed normal.
    Seemed.
    I cannot open:
    Mail, Ical, software update, Itunes, Iphoto etc etc. GGGRRRR!!!
    All my applications don't work?!?!!
    It gives the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark saying:
    ".. can't be opened because there is a problem. Ask the developer for information with this version on Mac OS X, You might have to install the application again."
    What do I do now??

    Thank you for your answer!
    It looks like that, because it mentions "this version of mac OS x".
    The Time Machine backup was made half an hour before I took it to the shop so I guess it was up to date with 10.6.3 (yesterday they released 10.6.4 so that one
    I don't have. My other mac backsup with that version allready)
    No, I installed with the Snow Leopard disk (i asked the guy in the store, he told me NOT to use the old disks which are 10.4.8).
    What I guess you tell me to do is empty my HD again, than install with the original disks and than upgrade till "today" and than try to recover my last TM backup?
    Or any other solutions?

  • Can't open attachments from Mail since downloading Lion...

    I have recently updated to Lion and since then I'm unable to open attachments in my email - either attachments received or documents I've attached to an email I'm composing. The app - Pages, Numbers, etc. - will open, but nothing happens after that.
    When trying to open email attachments the document will open in Preview, but if I select "Open in Pages/Numbers" it gets stalled, as described above.
    My only option seems to be to save the document and then open through the app or Finder, extra steps I'd rather not always have to take.
    Help?

    I'm having the same problem.  I know there's an attachment.  I can see the paper clip in the listing of e-mails, but when I open the e-mail, there's nothing to launch to see the attachment!

  • Any way to open attachments via Mail?

    I have my iPhone 4 mail sync with Exchange server over the air. It works great. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to open attachments to email messages (I do have a document viewer for PDF, etc installed). When I view the message, there is nothing to tap on to open/view the attachment.
    In the subject view, I can se that the message has an attachment (paperclip icon). When I forwad the email, the attachment does get forwarded. But how do I VIEW the attachment?

    Duh... I didn't scroll all the way to the end of the message where the icon to open the attachment appears.

  • Problems opening attachments from outlook

    This week I have been unable to open attachments from Outlook 2010. I use Firefox as my browser and for some reason when I click on an attachment it is downloaded into Firefox. This has only just started to happen. If I try to open a PDF document I would
    expect it to just open as a PDF rather than a Firefox download. How can I resolve this issue?

    Hi Tweek,
    Might be you are working with disabled attachment preview option. Follow the given path and turn on it: 
    File >> Options >> Trust Center >> Trust Center Settings (under Microsoft Outlook Trust Center) >> Attachment Handling
    If the above solution does not help, then change the default program for opening attachment. Make a right click on the PDF Document and select
    “Open With” option. Choose the default program and set it to as
    “Always the selected program to open this kind of file”.

    Feel free to response back for further response!!!
    Note: Make sure that Adobe Acrobat should be installed in your machine. 
    Thanks

  • Where can I find older versions of Mail for Exchan...

    Mail for exchange was unable to start up on my E71 phone so I removed it and installed the updated 3.0.50 version from OVI store. However, from some reason, this is not working with our exchange server - right after connecting I get the "System error, try again later" message. I found 2.07 version somewhere in the Internet and it is partially working. Any idea where can I download the original version that I had (2.09.176)?
    I also tried to sync mails only (no calendar/tasks) and this isn't working as well
    Thanks,
    Noam

    I got the answer that you can not.

  • Cannot open attachments in Mail

    The only attachments I have tried to open are audio and video.
    I am using Firefox,  and read about the plugins.  They are up to date.  Did not appear to be the problem.
    Unless I am missing something.  I did clear the cache.
    Also,  if this is related?   I am getting a message that my wireless keyboard batteries are low and should be changed.
    I am not using that keyboard.   I am using the one that connects with a USB.
    I closed Firefox and used Safari to get to discussions.   For some reason my Discussions file would not open.   I decided to just switch for this question.

    The problem stopped by itself.   OK now.
