Extract mail attachments with Automator?

I want to extract attachments from Apple Mail and save them in a Finder folder. There is an Automator action called "Get Attachments from Mail Messages" but when I set up a workflow
-- Get Specified Mail Items
-- Get Attachments from Mail Messages
it doesn't work. (I get an error that says Messages: Permission denied (5353776)
Can someone help me out here? Thanks.

Yes, you can, with JavaMail it's actually very simple. Here's an example:

Process e-mail attachments in Automator

Hi Everyone,
I would like to process attachments of incoming mails via automator. (Every mail has just ONE jpeg attachment, this should be resized and then uploaded to an FTP server).
Is this something that can be done in automator or do I need to do that in AppleScript?
Does anybody have any script/example that processes attachments of incoming mails?
Thanks and best regards,
Christoph

Please give us more information.
Are you using a mail client or is this web mail?
Which client or web mail service are you using?
How do you want to resize the attachment, scale, crop, etc.?
Do you currently upload files to an FTP server? How are you doing that? With software like Transmit, Interarchy, etc, or some other way?

Not by using the built in mail app only. The group feature doesn't exist in Apple's mail app. You need a third party app like this one.

How to rename an Outlook mail folder with Automator.

Hello,
I would like to use a Service from Automator to rename a mail folder in Outlook. The folder names are "<first name> <last name>". And they need to be renamed as "<last name>, <first name>". E.g. "John Doe" becomes "Doe, John".
In Outlook that would be:
Right click on the folder name.
From the drop down menu, select "Rename".
Jump to the end of the folder name [option] [right arrow].
Select the last name: [shift] [option] [left arrow].
Cut the name: [command] [x].
Delete the space: [delete].
Go to the beginning of the name: [option] [left].
Insert the last name: [command] [v]
Insert a comma and a space: [,] [space].
Finish the rename: [return].
In Automator:
Create a new Service.
Insert "Get Selected Outlook Items".
Record the steps above.
Click Run.
The results of thelast step is: "Watch Me Do failed - 1 error. Application Outlook is not running when it is expected to".
Outlook is running and a folder is selected.
Anybody any idea what I do wrong?
Thanks!
Zojnk.

Using the GET_ATTACHMENTS() attachment protocol method, get the attachment table. When reading the attachments, ensure that you use the GET_KIND() method to check the attachment object type before you access the data.

My iPhone is trying to open PDF Mail attachments with tiff viewer

I receive my faxes via email. They are delivered as PDF files. Sometimes when I try to open them on my iPhone, it says that it cannot open the tiff file. The attachment is clearly named with a .pdf file extension, but the iPhone still tries to open it as a tiff. Other PDFs open fine, but it treats these as if they are tiff files.

George is correct. XFA forms (which the mobile Reader does not support) are often built with a generic error (like the one described) page that displays for Readers that do not support these document types.

Sending e-mail attachments with utl_mail.

Hello guys i would like to add an attachment to an e-mail using utl_mail
I have gotten this part done without a problem.
My problem now is that i have to loop a table and make the contents of the table an attachment to the e-mail.
So here is what i have so far.
DECLARE
   b64   VARCHAR2 (512) := 'WELL THIS IS A WHOLE LOT OF DATA!';         -- etc., as above
   txt   VARCHAR2 (512) := 'Dear Scott: ...';                -- etc., as above
BEGIN

                                , recipients => [email protected].'
                                , MESSAGE => txt
                                , subject => 'Attachment demo'

A simple example of code goes a long way.
SEND_ATTACH_VARCHAR2() call is explained in the documentation. Numerous source code examples can be easily found. Thus my criticism.
The basic concept is - the attachment parameter contains the contents (e.g. file content, text content, image contents) and the filename parameter names that contents.
Keep in mind that the document clearly states that the attachment data types are varchar2 and raw - both which are limited to 32KB. This means that larger attachment sizes will fail and that you need to use UTL_SMTP instead. Which is also documented in the same reference guide. And for which there are also a lot of examples.

Issue with automated Mail attachments since upgrade to OS X 10.6.4

Hello
I use several automator actions that create a new e-Mail with specific recipients and a prewritten text and a finder dialog that opens up and lets me chose the files to be attached to the e-Mail created by automator.
Since I upgraded to OS X 10.6.4 the attachment opened through the automator action blacks out the whole e-Mail (see picture here http://idisk.me.com/tburkart/Public/Pictures/Skitch/Neue_E-Mail-20100628-111438. jpg )
Any suggestions what may cause this issue?

It is a bug of Safari 5 (better said of WebKt)
See this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2453797&tstart=0
There you will find workaround by using a 3rd party application
There are other workarounds like using the Perl module sendEmail or 3rd party osax XMail
Or simply convert the outgoing email to plain text before sending it

Mail saving text attachments with DOS line endings

dear all,
i just noticed that Mail saves text attachments with DOS line endings (CR+LF), even if the original contains UNIX line endings (LF). how can i disable this behaviour?

Using Automator, one can make a Desktop application that simulates dos2unix.
The Automator application shown here, will prompt the user to choose one or multiple (using command key) text files, and will then use Perl to process each file in-place, replacing the carriage return-line feed pairs with just a line feed. I tested this on a folder of text files where each file had more than 1 CRLF pair. Afterwards, there were only LF. The last thing this application does is slide out an OS X notification with processing status and number of files affected. I borrowed, and adapted the Perl block from Stack Overflow.

Iam unable to send multiple attachments with a mail using JavaMail?

Hai to all,
Iam unable to send multiple attachments with a email,see
iam have succeeded in sending one attachment with a email.
when iam tring to add two or more attachments to a mail,
it is giving a Exception like this:
javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;
nested exception is:
java.io.IOException: No content
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:577)
at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:151)
at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:80)
at AttachFilesModified.sendMail(AttachFilesModified.java:185)
at AttachFilesModified.main(AttachFilesModified.java:43)
this is my code snipnet:
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
if(body != null)
messageBodyPart.setText(body);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
/*if(attachments != null)
for(int i = 0; i < attachments.length; i++)
String filename="D:\\nagaraju\\apachi\\axis-bin-1_3.zip";
     //String s[]=filename.split("\\");
     //System.out.println(s);
          //String s1=s[1];
          //String filename1=s[s.length-1];
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
     messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
     //second file attaching
     /*String filename1="C:\\nagadoc.txt";
     BodyPart messageBodyPart1=new MimeBodyPart();
     DataSource source1=new FileDataSource(filename1);
     messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source1));
     messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename1);
     multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart1);
mess.setContent(multipart);
Address[] allRecips = mess.getAllRecipients();
if(toStdOut)
System.out.println("done.");
//System.out.println("Sending message (\"" + mess.getSubject().substring(0,10) + "...\") to :");
System.out.println("Sending message................");
for(int i = 0; i < allRecips.length; i++)
System.out.print(allRecips[i] + ";");
System.out.println("...");
Transport.send(mess);
if(toStdOut)
System.out.println("done.");
return 0;
What's wrng with that code snipnet?
Nagaraju G.

This works fine with me, try it or compare it if you want.
public void sendEmail( String from, String to,
String subject, String body) {
fMailServerConfig.put("mail.smtp.host", " <<mail server>>");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance( fMailServerConfig, null );
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage( session );
try {
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject( subject);
message.setText( body);
//Adds Attechment:
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setText("Here are my attachments");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
//first attachment
DataSource source = new FileDataSource("C:\\img1.jpg");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName("C:\\Telnor1.jpg");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//Second attachment
DataSource source2 = new FileDataSource("C:\\img2.jpg");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source2));
messageBodyPart.setFileName("C:\\Telnor2.jpg");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//etc...
message.setContent(multipart);
Transport.send( message );
}catch (MessagingException e){
System.err.println("Cant send mail. " + e);
The error on your code might be:
BodyPart messageBodyPart1=new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source1=new FileDataSource(filename1);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source1));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename1);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart1);
You don't need to create a new BodyPart, and apart from that you'r seting values on "messageBodyPart" but adding "messageBodyPart1" to your multipart :P
Well see u and have a good one!
p.s. i know it's a little late from the day you posted, but at least it might help somebody else :D .

Outlook users' problems with Apple mail attachments

Folks on Windows XP using Outlook 2003 are having problems with email from Apple mail. Apple mail is using Windows Friendly Attachments and Rich Text as the settings. Sometimes attachments (Word, Excel, PDF) come in fine with an additional .htm attachment, but the body text of the message is missing. If the Outlook user opens the .htm file, there is the body of the Apple mail. Testing with Plain Text results in the body text appearing fine in Outlook, but the attachment is seen as a *.dat file and of course can't be opened. The Macs are all on OS X Tiger with all OS updates applied. Users of Outlook in other offices don't have this problem, and users of Thunderbird on Windows don't have this problem. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to resolve it? Is there a setting on Outlook that needs to be tweaked? Is there a setting on Apple mail that needs to be tweaked? Apple mail attachments to this Windows office worked fine until a few weeks ago. I do not know what changed between then and now as I am not in charge of the computers at the Windows office. Could a Mac OS update have caused a problem? Something on Windows or Outlook specifically? Thanks for any help you can provide. I've scoured the web and have tried everything to no avail. Zipping attachments, while a workaround, is not a long-term solution. Thanks!

Is this in an environment where an MS Exchange Server is being used? Seeing a file change to .dat would often point to that.
Plain Text should be the plan of action for users of Apple Mail, but something (probably the Exchange Server) is messing that up. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053
and also related:
http://www.pchell.com/support/winmaildat.shtml
Moving to Leopard would probably not solve this -- the administrator of the exchange server must act.
Also the problem with winmail.dat files is known to impact other email clients used even on Windows computers.
