Gif not showing in mail

Didn't know if others were having this problem. Lately I have been receving emails with gif's - some animate, some not - but they don't show in the message. What does show is "plugi-in not installed". Now, if I go under "Quck Look Attachments" the gif' open, and they are opened in the message as well.
Oddly enough, when I send messages to myself the gif's do appear.

Perhaps you can tell me how to restore my old emails from my old email account.
If you moved your backup folder for that account (not the entire Mail folder) into the Home/Library/Mail folder, the next thing you need to do is launch Mail and setup that Gmail account again. But before you can do that, you need to login to the Gmail web interface and change your password to something secure (something that cannot be guessed, preferably at least 27 characters long and using a string of random characters). I use 1Password to generate these, but you could also use LastPass, which is free.
If you don't use one of those password managers, copy the new password, paste it into a Sticky Note or TextEdit and save it.
After you've done that, then setup the Gmail account in Mail again, and after you've done that, Mail will import the existing messages again, and sync them with Gmail.
Where do you think the password was stolen from?  The email server or my computer?
It wasn't stolen at all; it was just too easy to guess using standard hacking tools. That's why you have to use secure passwords that can't be guessed.

  • TS3276 Sent emails not showing in mail?

  • Email pictures (gifs) not showing, how can I redownload them?

    Hi,
    I have an issue where I am receiving regular emails with picture attachments in GIF format.  However, despite the images being roughly the same size, with the same characteristics (pixels/inch,RGB,etc) sometimes the image shows in the email and sometimes it does now.  I have fiddled with the automatically download picture setting but it doesn't have any effect.  Curiously, if I uncheck the automatic download it doesn't give me an option to download them manually but still seems to be automatically displaying them.
    I suspect the problem with the emails where the image is not displayed is that I had very poor cellular signal at the time of reception, probably with the signal cutting out whilst the image file was in the process of downloading.  In fact, with several images only half the content has appeared on screen with the rest showing as white which I think is probably the same problem.
    Is there a way I can get the email program to download the message again?  The images that do not show just have a blue question mark icon and don't give me any options when I long press on them.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    James.

    Also:   You said:        I did try forwarding the original e-mail from the inbox before deleting it and when it arrived and I opened the email it said 'unable to download attachment'.
    Here are just some of the most common reasons legitimate emails with attachments may not make it through or the email makes it through but not the attachment especially when forwarding.
    Spam/Virus Filters: perhaps the largest issue is that many viruses that attempt to send themselves in email as attachments. As a result ISPs, mail programs and mail servers have all had to become extremely suspicious of any and all attachments.
    So an attachment counts against you when the recipient's spam filter analyzes your incoming mail. If it has an attachment, it's somewhat more likely to be considered spam, and filtered or blocked accordingly.
    Attachment Blockers: for the very same reason that mail systems are looking at attachments as a bad thing, many email programs now come pre-configured to actually block access to some or all attachments. The recipient must somehow indicate that attachments are alright. Depending on their email program, this may be something that they can configure by file type (allow ".jpg" attachments, but not ".exe"), by sender (usually by adding the sender's email address to an address book or contact list), or globally.
    Size Matters: as the internet slowly gets faster and faster many consider this as becoming less and less of an issue, but in fact we're keeping up by having and trying to transfer larger and larger files. The fact is large files always have been a problem, and ISPs regularly disallow emails that exceed a certain size. The problem, of course, is that even though "a certain size" might be getting larger over time, it will also vary from ISP to ISP, if they do this. Thus even if your ISP allows you to send a large file, that doesn't mean that your recipient's ISP will allow him to receive it.
    Larger files are an issue because of the time it takes to send them, and the disk space required to hold them on the multiple servers they traverse as they make their way from point A to point B. Unlike simply copying a file from one machine to another, where only two machines are impacted, email travels across several servers and each of those must have the space to hold your files and an internet connection fast enough to receive and transmit it in a reasonable amount of time, along with everything else that server might be doing.
    I hope this helps.

  • Unread and read mail not showing in Mail after upgrading to Yosemite

    Hi there,
    I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
    In the Mail app, mail is not showing up properly. I have unread mail, which is not showing up, despite me refreshing or sorting by unread first, and even an email I read this morning on Chrome isn't showing up, as you can see by screenshots.
    How do I fix this issue?

    Hi,
    In Mail > Mailbox dropdown menu, try clicking on Rebuild at the bottom.

  • Why is my to-do list not showing in mail

    I have watched tutorial on setting up to-do lists in Mail but my mail application is not show To-Do only notes and flagged are showing under the reminders heading.  How can I fix this?

    Only my computer hard drive is and I want to import from an external drive.  I have always been able to until I updated to Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite.
    I had the same problem. On the folders on the drive with the Aperture library did show in the Import panel. After I clicked the computer icon in the upper left corner of the Import panel, suddenly all drives appeared.
    You can also try to drag the folder you want to import into the Import panel, to point the file chooser to the drive.

  • Images not showing in Mail, just generic JPG icon...

    I have this problem with Mail (v3.6, Leopard 10.5.8) not displaying images in html messages anymore. The problem is mostly with the emails i'm sending. Back on Tiger, you could drag and drop an image and it would show inline right there where your cursor would be in the message. Now it goes at the bottom, showing the generic Preview.app JPG icon with the name and size of the file underneath the icon. If I try to compose a message using on of Apple's stationaries, half of the images are not showing, instead once again giving me the generic icon. I do have the option of displaying HTML images turned on in the prefs. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here it is :
    http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/25424/mail_problem.jpg
    If I send this to friends, half of them get a correct looking email while the other half gets missing images where the original image was showing as an icon for me. Trying to save the email message as a PDF will have missing images too.
    What's going on here? Thanks!!!

    Same problem here. Some background images show up, top, bottom and corner images not. Opening the 'content.html' file in Safari: no problem.
    No idea what's going on.

  • Exchange 2007 not showing all mails

    There are a lot of mails within folder not shown within apple mai! I connect with the Exchange 2007 setting and it just does not sync well. I tried Exchange IMAP which works, but lead to different problem like having a separate 'Sent' folder!
    If I check those folders with OWA ord Outlook I'v got hundrets of mails. Even my iPhone shows all mails! But Apple Mail doesn't.
    The Syncing of Exchange 2007 with Mail is broken! We are three people working with it (all software developers) and there are so many problems...
    i.e. renaming folders if you have the option 'keep mails and attachments' set and several people are using the same account for archiving mails within project folders...

    I removed now the whole mail profile (the folder with finder). I added the account again and still I'v got folders which just show mails up to december 2009. That's **** for us.
    I have no way of 'resyncing' the folder...

  • Sent emails do not show in Mail

    Please - I have posted this question before, but it really annoys me - is it possible that it's only me with this problem?
    When I send emails with attachments, jpg-files filed in my iPhoto, the emails just do not show up in my Sent mailbox. It reaches the recipient, however, so I have to send a copy to myself.
    Anyone, please HELP!!
    PS. I have checked every possible setting both with my email supplier- Virginmedia.com (google) - and with Mail and iPhoto.
    Happy holidays

  • New Notes Not Showing in Mail Window

    I think i'm going crazy, but I know i am not, and it's something simple, but i can't figure it out!
    I use Mail Notes and also sync them with my Blackberry.
    I can edit notes in Mail on my computer, and the edits show up on the phone and in Mail.
    But, a new note does not show up in Mail (on the computer), but does on the phone when synced.
    I hope i've been clear.
    i appreciate any help!

    I'm having the same issue. No emails after April 21 are showing in the inbox. If I go to the get account info page you can see the emails and it even says they are downloaded, but they are not showing up in the inbox.
    Any suggestions?

  • TS3276 Inbox issues - not showing some mail

    I have two accounts in my "Inbox".  Mail marked "important" does not show up in "Inbox" but does show in Gmail folder.  Sometimes regular emails do the same.  How can I get all mail to show up in the "Inbox"?  Thx.

  • Mail not showing in mail box

    For three days, I was not receiving any email.  I talked to my email provider and they found that my email was being forwarded to another unknown account.  I called that email provider and learned that the email address supposedly receiving my emails has not been in service since 2004. My email provider has stopped forwarding my email to the bogus account. I have created my own gmail account and now have my email fowarded to the new gmail and have deleted my old account from my mac.  HOWEVER, I now see email activity in the lower left corner of the mail window saying messages are being sent and received--in large numbers, but they are not showing up anywhere on my mac.  When I compare what I am receiving in my mac mail account to what is on the gmail server, they all match up.  Why I am getting this activity? Where would it be coming from?

    Perhaps you can tell me how to restore my old emails from my old email account.

  • Why are MobileMe Sent messages not showing in Mail?

    On one Intel iMac, messages sent do not show up on the other Intel iMac, both running Snow Leopard 10.6.7.  This just started happening recently.  Also, although there are a few thousand messages in the Sent Mailbox in MobileMe,, only 300+ appear in the Sent Mailbox on that first iMac.  Rebuilding the mailbox has no effect.  Any ideas?

    What type of email accounts are they? IMAP or POP.
    IMAP leaves messages on the server so you can get them from everywhere.
    With POP, messages are downloaded to your client and then removed from the server, depending on your settings.
    The iDevice setup for POP doesn't remove them from the server.
    I think Mail's default setup for POP is to remove immediately.
    If they are POP accounts, you can set Mail's preferences to leave messages on the server for a period of time so that you can retrieve them on multiple clients.

  • Mobile Me aliases not showing in Mail app.

    Just recently, I have lost the ability to use my mobile me aliases when using the mail app on my macbook. They have just disappeared from the drop down menu under from in mail. I have used support with mobile me - they seem to indicate it's a problem with my macbook rather than with mobile me. Can anyone help?
    Just thought I'd add too - there appear to be a couple of other issues with syncing to mobile me too - address book groups, bookmarks, mail rules etc.
    Would love anyone's thoughts/help - thanks in advance.

    I see the same issue (aliases not showing up), not in mail on my Macs, but in web mail on Mobile Me itself. I cannot manage existing aliases, I cannot use the aliases to compose new mail on Mobile Me website. I think this might have started at the time I converted my Mobile Me calendar to the new version, but I am not 100% sure, for I do not use web mail that often.
    This happens in every browser I checked (Firefox, Safari, Chrome on Mac and Firefox, Chrome, IE8 on Windows), so seems to be a problem on server side, not browser specific or a problem on my computer.
    If you have any ideas how to fix this, please please post it here. Thanks a lot!

  • Subject line not showing in mail

    When I receive mail from a colleague send to me from her Exchange account to my Exchange account and I read this account from my MacBook Pro Retina using Mail, the subject line does not show up. Instead it says: (no subject).
    When I look into the details of the mail, I can see that there is a line 'Thread-Topic: the subject my colleague put into the subject line'.
    So the subject is there, but Mail doesn't show it. I can't figure out why this happens or what I can do to stop it.
    The mails in question only have the subject line filled and no further content (there just short messages).
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Ed

    This is a recurring problem with Exchange servers. Sometimes it's fixed by rebuildiing the mailbox. Another possible fix is to disable the account in the Mail preferences dialog, then re-enable it. Back up all data before making any changes.
