Email attachment to be saved to a mail or mac folder?

Why can't we have a simple rule that allows email attachment to be saved to a mail or mac folder?  This was a simple rule in outlook and the real true feature I miss about Outlook.  I know people will say apple scripts but I am not a coder and the option is not available in automator.  How hard can this be?

I know this isn't automatic, but pretty fast and simple. On the top right of an email window, use the Save feature for attachments.

  • I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad.

    I cannot open all email attachment files(pdf, doc, etc) in Mail on my New IPad. I installed all viewer apps but I am not able to click and hold to select the option of viewer apps to open the files. I dont get the "open with" option when I click on the arrow in the menu bar. I can open attachment files on G-mail website from Safari though. It is really ridiculous that I cannot open the files from Apple Mail app! What's wrong with it!!

    We cannot possible know what's wrong with it. But we can offer suggestions that might help.
    Try resetting the iPad - its like rebooting a computer.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This might help as well.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again

  • Email Attachment Corrupted when saved

    I have an iMac with OSX 10.6.7 and a Fusion Virtual Machine running Windows 7.
    I have recently downloaded a dev app for my VM to convert .php files.  The vendors have sent the app licence by email.  On saving the attachment using Office for Mac 11 (outlook) to my desktop the file is corrupted, also if I just drag it. (this is as a .lic file or as as.zip file).
    The vendor support has sent me the following:
    Hi,
    The license you sent is corrupted, we're not sure how you're saving it, but it has Mac end of line symbols in it, maybe you're saving it as text and Mac changes the line endings for you (or maybe your email client is doing it for you). It's first time when you experienced such issue.
    We're sending a license for you in a zip file, please try to save it as a binary so nothing in the file will be changed.
    Thank you,
    Support.
    I have also requested the file be sent to my Mail account but I rec it without the attachment?
    Thank you,
    David.

    Greetings David,
    If the activation file is intended for use with a Windows app running through fusion, it might be helpful to access the email with that file attached from within the Windows environment rather than on the Mac side.  If you don't have a Mail client installed in Windows, check the email account they are emailing to using Webmail instead.
    Cheers.

  • Can't see email attachment on iPhone nor iPad, but can on Mac.

    I am getting an email with an attachment that comes to my mac, my iphone, & my iPad; but I can only see that it has an attachment on my mac. Others receive the same email on their ipad and they can see the attachment icon. Help.

    Try resetting the iPad. No data is lost. (Oh, and check your security settings. Maybe some kind of function is enabled, that blocks attachments etc.)
    Another reason might be your internet provider (cellular provider), if you have just been trying to download the attchments over 3G/4G, although I don't know that. Ckeck with them, if that is the case, and try to download the attchments over WiFi (you better check out multiple WiFi sources, just in case the problem is router-spesific (many routers, mostly public, but also private have certain restrictions on them concerning the amount of data each user can download). I'm really no expert, but that's what I would do...Otherwise, I'm afraid, I don't know. Really sorry about this!

  • Recipients of sent emails not recorded when move a sent mail to a folder

    have no record on Mac Book of who I have sent emails to (but can look on my iPhone to find this out). How do I correct this problem?? Help Please!!

    have you considered your mail provider may simply not allow a single email with that many addresses?

  • How can I attach a document saved in my iCloud to a web based outlook email on my IPad?

    How can I attach a document saved in my iCloud to a web based outlook email on my IPad?

    Thanks Nik and Roger. I think we've all come to the same realization: the new Pages will not attach documents to e-mail without going through Cloud. If you don't want to give your files to Apple to keep in its Cloud (which I assume the NSA has access to through a back door), then you can't use the new Pages.
    If, like me, you downloaded the new Pages and used it to work on a document, before realizing you couldn't attach it to e-mail, then when you saved that document it was saved in the new Pages. If you later delete the new Pages (as I did) and go back to using an older version (which you can find in your iWorks file on your hard drive), then you discover that the older version of Pages won't open a document that you worked on and saved with the new Pages.
    Nik and Roger have found the solution, if you keep the new Pages. If you delete the new Pages (as I did) then I had to accept the loss of any work I did on my documents using the new Pages, and began over using the latest version of my document that I had saved with the older Pages.
    All in all, this has really soured my tase for Apple. If I hadn't recently bought a new MacBook Pro, I'd be switching to a PC now. I refuse to let Apple bully me into using their Cloud.

  • Email attachment name in sender mail adapter to the receiver file adapter

    HI ,
    Ths is regarding email to file scenario. I am trying to create file (in rceiver file adapter) with the same name as the email attachment that i read from mail sender adapter.

    I assume , i need to do following steps :Please confirm.
    1. i can use this module - after payload swap module and before standard mail adapter module in sender mail adapter
    2. select ASMA option in advanced tab in sender mail adapter
    3. In receiver file adapter select ASMA option in advanced tab in sender mail adapter
    4. Also select file name option in ASMA in sender mail adapter
    Thanks,
    Vamsi

    Hi Vamsi,
    your scenario is also described here: Re: sender mail adapter - attachment name
    If you use the Module getAttachmentName, which is described here,
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/AdapterModulePI7.0GetAttachmentName
    your scenario should work as you described it.
    You just need to make sure that the Attachment Name that you read in the first place, is mapped to the Filename Attribute of the
    Fileadapter (http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File/FileName).
    regards,
    Daniel

  • After saved to computer, Adobe Reader could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

    After saved to computer, Adobe Reader could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?
    Saved from where?  What is the file size of the saved document?

  • Mail and email attachement : .pdf - .pdfpdf or .doc - .docc

    Hello,
    I have been using Mail since I bought my Mac but I have a recurrent problem.
    When I send a Mail with email attachement, it duplicates the extension. For instance : .doc become .docc, or .pdf become .pdfpdf.
    I tried some manipulations such as : Check or not : "Mask File Extension" in "File Information", and :"Send email attachement Windows compatible" in Mail : the results are the same.
    The last straw ? When I try with Gmail or Orange in Safari, the attachements work well and my contacts can read them.
    I don't understand.
    I will appreciate any answer.
    Thanks
    (Sorry for my English )

    Are you sure it is Mail sending them wrong and not their email client mangling them when they arrive?
    It is apparently Mail's fault. It has to do with sending attachments with accented characters. While this a poor workaround for you, don't use accented characters in attachment names until Apple fixes it. Or add a message to your email to save the attachment and fix the extension. If they do that, it will open just fine.

    Every time my lg g pad 8.3 lte tablet is turned off it reverts the saving email attachment back to internal storage.  Every time I turn on, I change it back to save to SD card.  It stays that way until it is turned off for more than a minute.  If I do a restart, it holds the setting, but loses it when it is shut down for any period of time.  Does anyone else have this issue?  The setting holds for photos taken with camera storing to SD card.  Only the email attachment setting does not hold.

    I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
    I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
    I don't know if this will help you much, but it might.

  • Mail 5.3 I sent a message to a friend however, when viewing it I discovered several other past emails attached to it that I did not intend to send. I was wondering want I may of done wrong. Thanks for any replies.

    I get several thousand emails a day and have no issues. Sounds like either the mail account in Mail is configured incorrectly or the Exchange Server (I'm assuming you meant Exchange Server and not Outlook Server) needs a software update or may have a setting that doesn't play well with other mail clients.

  • Random email attached to mail

    I  just sent an email to someone - it was a brand new email not a reply. It had four attachments (screenshots) which I dragged into the mail from the desktop, When I looked at what I'd sent I saw that it had a second mail attached to the bottom of it, one that I had sent to someone else months ago. Why has this happened? Could be very awkward Now I'm worried that whatever I send will have some random second email attached...
    I'm using 10.8.3 and Mail 6.3

    From your further explanations it sounds like your system sent two separate emails. This is what I think you have said:
    You sent one email that you meant to send and it had an attachment you meant to attach.
    An additional email got sent. We don't know why. It is a random email from December that got forwarded to the same recipient as the email you meant to send. And it is being arranged or colored in the list of emails as if it is related to the one you meant to send.
    Is that correct?
    I can't think of a way this could have happened. I'm just trying to nail down the problem so that when someone else comes around they'll know what the problem was.
