I attached an AVI to a outgoing mail...oops

I attached an AVI file to an outgoing mail message and now it is stuck in my outbox and my mail app. is frozen. When the program opens it gets stuck and then closes itself...
Any Ideas?

Yes, you can delete it from your mail folder. Quit Mail completely, and, in Finder, go into ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Outbox.mbox/Messages, and delete any .emlx files you find there. This will clear out your Outbox, and you should be able to launch Mail now.
(Note: ~ means "your home folder")

How can I attach a pdf file to outgoing mail without it opening up within the message?

How can I attach a pdf file to outgoing mail without in opening up within the message?

You can use the Share button on Preview's toolbar. Choosing Email pops open Mail with the PDF already iconified as an attachment. If it doesn't behave this nicely for you, select the PDF in Mail and choose the right contextual menu, where you will find View as Icon. I also have Send Windows-Friendly attachments enabled.

Attach Digital certificate to outgoing mails

Hi all,
Is it possible to attach a digital certificate (custom) to specific outgoing mails in ABAP (or) SAP.
Thanks in advance.
Jay

Somewhere online I found mention that you can assign the cert you don't want to use as untrusted and the one you do want to use as trusted. So in Keychain, double click on your Thawte cert, click on the Trust arrow and change the "When using this certificate:" drop down to "Always Trust". Do the opposite for your other certs.
This way you can still use your other certs for decrypting if anyones uses it to send to you. But you'll always use the trusted cert for signing/encrypting new messages.
I too wish there was a way to explicitly select the cert you want to use but till they allow that, this is the best way I've found to work around the issue.

When I attach a file to outgoing mail it shows up in the body of the e-mail. How can i make it only show up at the end or elsewhere?

Edit > Attachments > Insert Attachments at End of Message. If a new message is the active window, the option applies only to that message. If you don't have a new message open, then the option becomes Always Insert Attachments at End of Message.

My MacBook pro has stopped connecting to the outgoing mail server smpt (Tiscali) server, still receives mail fine, and connects to the web. Any suggestions welcome.

My MacbookPro has always worked fine, receiving and sending emails through my server,Tiscali. I took it to France for a few days, and was able to receive emails and use the web (through the wireless router and server in our accomodation), although as usual when away from home, I couldn't send emails. I tried to set up a new outgoing email route using O2 (as suggested by a web article), but it didn't work, so I deleted it, and used Tiscali webmail to send emails.
When I returned home, I selected my usual outgoing server (Tiscali), but found to my great surprise, that I could no longer send emails - Mail timed out, 'unable to connect'. I noticed when clicking on: Mail - Preferences, that in the outgoing mail smpt box, Tiscali appeared, as usual, but now was followed by (Offline)
Receiving emails and web connections have remained fine.
I've checked with Tiscali, and they can't find any problem with their server or my settings. Grateful for any suggestions about possible causes for this problem, and how to fix it.
Joe

I have just tried attaching the ethernet cable to the MacBook to see what happens. The system is fine, but when starting Mail, it never opens and locks up. You eventually just have to force quit out of the program.

Since 10.5.6 outgoing mail slow ??

Since moving to 10.5.6 my outgoing mail is slower.
Previously if I sent just a simple email with just a few lines of text it would go instantly.
Now the same type of message seems to take anywhere up to 20 secs to go and during that time I get the spinning graphic next to the out folder or sent folder.
Not the spinning beach ball of death, just the normal spinning graphic which I expect to get when sending an email with a large attachment or lots of graphics.
Has anyone else noticed this ?

I am quite certain that I had the sound effects check box in system preferences activated prior to the 10.5.6 upgrade as I had the empty trash sounds activated. After the upgrade, something during the install process unselected this check box in system preferences because I noticed I had lost the internal Mail sounds as well as the sound for emptying the trash. When I checked preferences in Mail the check box for "play sounds in mail" was still checked but there were no more sounds. It seems odd to me that you now have to go to two different places to turn on the sound feature in Mail whereas before it was only one checkbox. How is it fixing a bug by requiring two steps instead of one? Minor point, but it is rather confusing and convoluted.

Attaching multiple windows friendly attachments in Mail

I am able to attach a single file to a piece of outgoing mail in Mail, and have that file appear as an attachment that I can open up in Outlook. However, if I select multiple files to attach to a piece of mail and the "windows friendly attachment" option is checked, those attachments show up embedded in the Outlook mail and not as separate attachments.
How can I send multiple windows friendly attachments in a single piece of mail and have them show up as separate attachments in outlook?

I seem to have solved this problem, which was that my daughter (on Windows) could not save attachments that I sent her in emails, and had other problems.
My solution is:
1. Mail > Edit >Attachments: Check "Always insert attachments at end of message".
2. After composing the text of a message in Mail, drag your image or its icon on to Mail's window and drop the icon at the end of the message. Voila (for me at least). If you drop the image icon at the top of the text, the image gets transmitted but not the text (!!!) (Ain't Apple wonderful!).
3. My daughter sees the image, opened, at the bottom of the message and by Right-Clicking on it she can save the image (she typed .jpg after the image title and got a jpg.)
Hope this works for you.

How do I create Outgoing Mail Policie,Outgoing content filters and individual content filters?

IronPort C160.
async OS 6.5.3
Server 1 and server 2 are communicating through ironport.( and also scanning)
Server 1 we have setup domain abc.lk and yy.abc.lk in same server, this reside on DMZ. same segment ironport is connected,
Server 2: we have setup separate server int.abc.lk which is resided on internal lan.
Server 1 and server 2 should have to communicate internally, but server2 should not communicate to outside the world (eg. [email protected])
How do I create "Outgoing Mail Policies, Outgoing content filters and the individual content filters?
Note: Now server 1 and server2 are communicating internal and also communicating external ([email protected]), I need server 2 not to communicate external ([email protected]) it should be block and also do not block server 2 communicating to server1
I have attached diagram also.
Thanks.
sumathi.

Hello Sumathi,
(Thanks for adding a diagram, that helps understanding your situation)
I think the simplest solution is to create a filter that allows server 2 (based on it's IP) to communicate with the internal domains, and drop the messages when they are targeted to any other domain
so:
filter source IP = servers
condition: message to: is NOT abc.lk or yy.abc.lk
action: drop message
hope this helps!

Group Mailer ~ There is no outgoing Mail message. (-2700)

Hi
I am attempting to use the group mailer function in automator.
I have tried a variety of different work arounds with the same effect.
The process I have created has four stages:
1) Get Specified Address Book Items
2) Group Mailer
3) Get Specified Mail Items
4) Send Outgoing Messages
I have tinkered with the order of stages and with the 'ignore previous results' as suggested on other forums - all to no avail.
The Action reaches Stage 2 (Group Mailer) and then stops with the error message There is no Outgoing Mail Message (-2700).
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thank you, in advance
Adam

There are a few other refinements that could be added:
1) Avoiding the asking if attachments want to be added by checking whether there were any assigned in the Automator "Get Specified Finder Items" dialog;
2) There is a rather annoying bounce/notification by Automator after the initial "New Mail Message" action. Gathering all the information first and then creating a template with the "New Mail Message" action would avoid this annoyance. Unfortunately, as you know, I am using that action as a quick way to gather the subject, message, and account information.
3) Rename the actions by using a Ctrl click on the action title bar to more clearly indicate what information is being requested in the dialogs.

Can't deactivate outgoing mail server on iOS

I can't deactivate my outgoing mail server for my Gmail account on iOS. I can slide the button to off, but I can't OK only Cancel and go back out.
The reason I'm interested in doing this, is just because I'm discontinuing this email. And just only want to be able to receive and not send emails. And I've I don't deactivate the outgoing mail server, I still end up by mistake sending emails from my Gmail account when replying etc. I KNOW I can't just opening my eyes and choose another account. But then the music plays I forget.
I've attached a screenshot...

It may be that your settings have become corrupted. The first line of defense is to change something in there, close the preferences, quit mail, then open mail, change it back and close the preferences and see if that straightens it out.
The second step is more draconian. You will need to re-enter ALL your mail settings, so you first need to write them down somewhere for easy reference. Then you move the mail preference .plist files to the desktop and re-enter your preferences, in hopes of having the new one be correct.
There are a couple of similar post here in the last 90 days, which a search may uncover, or just post back and someone can point you to the files that contain those preferences, with out trashing the index to your stored emails.

How to remove a photo (of me) from outgoing mail??

I guess when I first set up this Mac, I was enamoured of the little camera on the top of the screen and took a (really bad) pic of me and it is now attached to all my outgoing mail. I suppose I chose to do that - but now I WANT IT OFF. First, it's really bad. Second, I don't have that (really bad) haircut anymore. Third, what was I thinking???
Anyone know how to remove it?
thanks -

As Julian said, the picture is not actually attached to the outgoing message.
If someone using a .Mac mail account sets up his or her account to share pictures, when you view a message from that person in Mail you'll see the shared picture. The picture *_is not sent in the message itself_*; instead, when you view the message, Mail looks for the picture on the .Mac server. You can only view shared pictures from a .Mac account using Mail and webmail.mac.com.

Outgoing mail in sent folder never sends, consumes bandwidth, heats up device.

I just filed a defect, the text of which I have copied below in part. I'm wondering though if anyone else has seen this, and if they have has it occured to them repeatedly? I'm wondering if I need to really keep an eye on my mail problem to make sure I don't keep incuring charges from AT&T and risk setting my phone on fire
Summary: Outgoing mail in sent folder never sends, consumes bandwidth, heats up device.
Symptom: Device heats up to an almost unbearable temperature. Meanwhile in 18 hours the phone chews up over 2 gigbytes of cellular data, even though the phone sat next to a wireless G router, which it stayed connected to, and the connection remained good. I won't claim they are related, only that they occured at the same time.
Point of interest, putting the phone in "Airplane Mode" cooled the device down immediately. Restarting the device helped, unless the email app was opened up after restarting. Same thing with killing the app, cooled down until the email client was opened again. I figured this out over the course of 18 hours.
Steps to Reproduce:
I have not tried to reproduce this issue yet, but here are the actions I took prior to getting into the bad state.
Pre-conditions of the phone: I was connected to a good wifi signal. I had good 3G service. Phone was not experiencing any problems.
1. Took a picture with the camera. Sent picture via email (using iphone client through gmail server).
2. Did step 1 again with a different picture.
3. Took a 43 second movie, which was about 50mb. Attempted to send movie via email same as the pictures.
Expected Results:
The movie would have sent after a reasonable amount of time.
Actual Results:
According to AT&T, 196,265 KB of data was sent in the hour following my attempt to email the movie.
After restarting the phone, I must have killed its attempts at sending, at least via 3G. However I checked my email via my phone again right before bed. I woke up the next morning to find my phone had become extremely hot yet again. AT&T claims I used 1,890,652 KB (not a typo) that night while I slept.
I restarted my phone the next morning and that "fixed" it again. Until around noon I finally figured out that it was my opening the email client that was triggering the heat. At this point I noticed that the email with the attached movie was still "Sending". I could not kill or delete the email, killing the app and restarting the phone did not stop or fix it. I had to put the phone in Airplane mode, which caused the email client to give me a proper error, and then I was able to delete the email. I have had no over heating issues since.
Regression:
Getting charged an extra $20 in data usage by AT&T.
Notes:
As stated, I have not tried to reproduce this yet. I am slightly fearful that I will accidentally incur another $20 worth of data usage unknowingly. My phone has never been jailbroken or in other ways modified, and has experienced no other issues or trauma recently. I've owned the phone for 2 years and it was bought brand new.

In my opinion there is only one way to get this issue fixed -> contact Apple:

Taking contents in new incoming mail & creating new outgoing mail

im having 2 problems while trying to create an automator workflow.
1. take attachment from a new incoming mail message and pass it along to a new outgoing mail message.

2. take a piece of information from the incoming mail message and paste it into the (to:) section of the new outgoing mail message (each outgoing mail will have a different TO: based on the information they send me)
this is what i mean.

fax number: 5055555555
then i would like to take that information and have it sent to:
[email protected]

Outgoing Mail Painfully Slow

Hi All,
MB Pro with Lion 10.7.2. When sending an email .me or .mac in Apple Mail, it takes a very long time to go out. Email style (with or w/o attachements) does not matter. It can take 30-60 seconds for the mail to leave. Tried at home (Comcast) and at the office (AT&T) and it does the same. The wheel spins in the email program then it sends.
I've tried deleting and reinstalling the account, no dice.
Anyone have a similar expereience or resolution?
Thanks..

Sorry but can't help Oriontool....
I've got same set up and exactly same issue. I have ADSL line @ 1.5Mbps and no issues that side. All others in office (on WINDOZE) have NO issue with download speeds/internet etc.
My Mail seems to download incoming messages with not too much difficulty at speeds often over 50kbps (not often over 100 though!!) but outgoing mail is being sent in bps or up to 4kbps at top speed.
Very frustrating and I am seeing more and more similar questions being asked in forums. What going on...???
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers...
