Files corrupting when sending email attachments from Mail & Thunderbird

Hi All
I'm hoping that someone will be able to help here as this problem is driving me crazy!
Most if not all of my email attachments are corrupting when sending from Apple Mail and Thunderbird. I'm also having issues with publishing files via FTP from Rapidweaver 5! I have spoken to BT about the issue but they have tested the line and say everything is OK.
The strange thing is, it's happening on my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) and my Mac Pro (Lion). The problem's also happen when I'm using a friends high speed internet connection so that only leaves the server. I'm really out of my depth with the server side of things though. I did have a reply from Servage (my hosting company) who said I may have been the subject of a hack and an upload script!! Not sure what this means or how to check if this is the case. One question though, would this corrupt email attachments as well as uploading to the server?
Many thanks
Mark

Further to the above: I have now found that the same corruption happens when I email attachments and FTP from my PC laptop, so this rules out a computer issue. I have also swapped wireless routers and exactly the same problem. As mentioned above, I don't get the corruption when using another internet connection.
Also, I have an iPhone which I've restored to factory default settings and when I take a photo with the phone and email it (using my home wireless network), the file corrupts, everytime.
Using services such as YouSendIt and WeTransfer, gives the same problems!
I'm desperate for help on this one and I'd even pay someone to resolve it!

Can't open PDF email attachments from mail app. (iOS7, iPad2)

Since upgrading to iOS7 I cannot open PDF email attachments from the "Mail" app. The attachment appears as a "tap to download" icon, after downloading it appears as an image of the first page of the PDF. An extended press of the PDF image results in "save image" and "copy" options, but no "open in" option.
I have tried closing and re-opening mail, restarting the iPad, several different attachments. Still no "Open in" option.
Any help with this?

I work in a support organization and we've seen variations of this issue develop on various iphones and ipads with ios7. Oddly, not everyone is experiencing this, just some people.
In my own case, I simply downloaded Acrobat Reader for free and can read the things fine.
We use an exchange activesync email server and when each email comes in it indicates at the very bottom that it has been downloaded as plain text and to click to download the entire message. I've tried clicking to download and not clicking and I can read the PDF either way.
In my own case I can view PDF files and/or also save them by pressing and holding the icon of the PDF in the email.
The other thing one of our end users noticed: if she emailed the PDF directly to her iPhone5 and iPad it would not be readable but if she forwarded it to her offsite Yahoo account and then forward to her corporate email it would open.
I think there's definetely something going on with the formatting of the PDF (was it created by a true Adobe PDF distiller or one of the many clones?), what email application attached it? (Outlook, Eudora, IOS Mail, etc) and how many PDF reading apps are on your IOS devices?
For instance I have the default PDF reader, iBooks, Kindle, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and there may be others that I don't even know has PDF capability. Only Apple probably has a good idea of how many apps utilize this.

Sending photo attachments from Mail to Gmail

I've been sending photo attachments via Mail for years and haven't had trouble until recently. Now I'm getting complaints from Gmail users that the attachments come through as embedded files. I guess on the Gmail end, they don't see it listed out as an attachment, but as part of the mail body. What's going on here?
I attach files same as I always have - by clicking on "attach", then selecting the file(s) I want to attach. I always leave "send windows friendly attachments" selected (although in an experiment, I tried sending it without clicking that, and the images came over all stretched out and shrunken in a very strange way).
I can't think of what would be happening, but I'm assuming it's something in either the way Mail or Gmail is treating the photos - and I'd like to have them come through as attachments, rather than embed files (I'm a photographer and have heard from some of my clients that the embed is a pain - they have to "save as" right click on each image rather than just select "save attachments" or something).
Any ideas??

Send to these recipients using only Plain Text, and all should be well. To test choose a message you previously sent from the Sent mailbox, open, click on Message in the menubar, choose Send Again, then click on Format and choose Make Plain Text.
Rich Text as received by those using Outlook or Outlook Express, as two examples, will see the RTF as HTML, and the attachments will appear embedded -- although they are not.

Authentication faild when sending email to yahoo mail

I can not send email to yahoo mail address. The error message is:
javax.mail.MessagingException: 530 authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html
I tried different ways to do the authentication:
1. Create a passwordAuthenticator (extends Authenticator) and set my yahoo userName and yahoo password there.
then use this authenticator to get session:
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);
I also tried both props.put("mail.smtp.auth",new Boolean(true));
and props.put("mail.smtp.auth",new Boolean(false));
2. using
session.setPasswordAuthentication(new URLName("smtp.mail.yahoo.com"), new
PasswordAuthentication(myYahooUserId, myYahooPasswoed);
3. using Transport instance:
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect(host, myYahooUserName, myYahooPasswoed);
msg.saveChanges();
transport.send(msg);
transport.close();
None of the above approaches are working.
Can any one hlep?
Thanks

I am looking at the last line in step 1 in the code,
and am wondering why the auth is set to false? I am
new to this area, so just curious, not trying to
provide an answer :-)I just tried with Rogers SMTP server, it is OK .. here is my code
Properties props = System.getProperties();
               //Authenticator auth = new
               // -- Attaching to default Session, or we could start a new one --
               props.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
               props.setProperty("mail.host", smtpServer);
               props.setProperty("mail.user", acctName);
               props.setProperty("mail.password", password);
               props.setProperty("mail.smtp.auth","true");
               Session mailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
               Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport();
               MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
               message.setContent(subject, "text/plain");
               message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                    new InternetAddress(to));
               Address replyList[] = { new InternetAddress(from) };
               message.setReplyTo(replyList);
               message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
               //transport.connect();
               transport.connect(smtpServer, acctName, password);
               transport.sendMessage(message,
                    message.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO));
               transport.close();

Changing the font size when sending email out from the iPad with MobileMe

Is there a way from the iPad, or from my MacBook to the iPad, that I can increase the size of the font when typing outgoing mail? I use MobileMe on both my iPad and MacBook. My sister has cataracts and she needs the type size larger than what is already set on the iPad outgoing mail. I can make the type size larger for my incoming mail - I guess I did it through iPad settings -but I can't seem to figure out how to make it larger for my outgoing mail. I would prefer to be able to answer her on my iPad than having to switch back to my Mac each time she writes. Thank you.

I guess what I am looking for is a toolbar when I am sending email so that I can change the font size, change the typeface, make words bold, underline them
I don't think you will find any app that does that, it's the kind of feature only Apple can add. You can tell them here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

When sending email messages from iPhone,iMac, or iPad, email address automatically added to my contacts list on iPhone. How do I trace this down and stop this auto addition of email addresses to my contacts list?

I am not sure what generates the email address as a contact, be it the iPhone or iMac. I use iCloud to sync up my contacts/address book. This appears to happen when I am using Mac Mail on my iMac, but I have no clue where to begin to look to stop this auto addition. I have looked in Mail preferences on my iMac and in my iPhone settings, but have found nothing that "automatically add email address to contacts list".
Can anyone provide guidance? Web search has been fruitless ( I am guessing I am not using the right key words for my search).

Hey jpoolewarren!
You can delete contacts by following the instructions in this link:
Contacts at a glance - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3e0ca2db
Delete a contact. Go to the contact’s card, then tap Edit. Scroll down, then tap Delete Contact.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Once you get otf data, Use FM 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF' to convert it to PDF. Then use CONTENT_BIN to send mail.

    MOVE WA_PDF TO WA_CONTENT_TXT.
    APPEND WA_CONTENT_TXT TO I_CONTENT_TXT.
    CLEAR: WA_CONTENT_TXT.
ENDLOOP.
* Converting to PDF Format
CALL FUNCTION 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF'

Can't send document attachments from Mail to iPhone

...well I can but not very well.... When using Gmail IMAP to sync everything, document attachments sent from Mac Mail to iPhone mail arrive as a bit of mess.. i.e. not as attachments but as text within the email itself, plus lots of garbled numbers and letters. Strange because if I send the same message from the iPhone back to itself or from webmail-Gmail it works fine. Its also just fine with photos and Pdf's. Help!

No, sorry. false alarm.
I just received a message, sent by Apple Mail 2.1.2 from OS 10.4.11, through POP, to an email-forwarding address, to my imap-gmail, and received from there (by IMAP) with Mail 2.1.2, too.
Details of what got garbled below, just to say that sending the email not to the forwarding address but directly to [email protected] did not help either.
the email was constructed like so:
- some text, readable.
- an attached PDF, space characters in name. this entire pdf was just printed in the email, meaning the postscript code and what have you.
- some more text, that was still readable
- an attached image that was probably pasted into the email, the name was "pastedGraphic.png". The image survived.
- text, readable.
- another PDF, raw contents printed into email body.
- a zip file, spaces in name, made with the built-in archive maker of Tiger. Also here, the entire 'source code' of the zip is printed in the body copy.
- some final bits of text. readable.
On another computer, this email was not routed through a gmail account and was received by POP. not a single problem there. In fact, not ever.
This is not very cool

How can I conceal my personal name when sending email out from my iCloud email account?

I prefer to keep my first and last name private when I send e-mail about for my iCloud account. In the body of an e-mail, if it's a personal correspondence and appropriate, I will THEN elect to provide my full name. But I don't want my first and last name appearing involuntarily in the header of my e-mail as it arrives in the recipients inbox.
I called tech support and spent 90 minutes on the phone on Sept. 23 and we did not manage to arrive at a solution. Revealing the first and last name connected to the account should always be an "elective" item. Privacy is paramount these days and not every e-mail you send out is solely for trusted friends and relatives. In age of Internet privacy woes, discretion should be the default and exposure of personal information the exception.
Might anyone be able to help? Thanks!

Hi allinforapple,
If you are concerned about your full name being associated with emails your send from iCloud, you may find the following articles helpful. If the concern is about the address itself (i.e. [email protected], if you happen to have an address like that), you are able to create an Alias address tied to your account. If that is not a concern, you can also change the Full Name associated with your current address from the same Preferences > Accounts menu:
iCloud: About email aliases
iCloud: Create or change email aliases

Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

However,
this is only possible if the email client of the e-mail receiver supports this feature and it is turned on. if it doesn't support it or it supports it but the feature is turned off there is absolutely nothing you can do.

Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.
