Importing email attachments

Hi I just got my first mac. how do I import photo attachments from mail into iphoto 6 directly?
Also if none of my old digital photos have the right data for importing into the right albums/folders is it better to sort them out into new folders in my pictures then import without copying or do all the folder arrangments in iphoto by doing batch changes after import?
Cheers,

sjonamac:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's about what I would have recommended. One in iPhoto you can also move photos between rolls, create new rolls, etc. The roll dates do need some work as iPhoto takes the latest modified date of the files in the folder as the roll date. That is not always what you might want.

How can I import emailed attachments to iTunes on my iPad?

Hi,
I use Soundboard to trigger sound effects at sporting events (I'm allowed to, I work there!) Is there any way of saving audio attachments, such as emailed voice over sponsor messages, directly into iTunes? I am not able to take my desktop pc with me to the ground so can't always sync.
Best wishes
Ian

Importing Emails with attachments

We have a client that would like to import a large email history with attachments...any ideas on how to approach this?

Hi Bill,
You may use Outlook Integration (if using MS Outlook for email) to save emails to SAP. In using this add-on, the email is saved - including attachments - in SBO as a Activity and immediately closed so it cannot be edited. (This can be good for audit purposes.) Note: I believe the text field is limited to 64K characters so if the email thread is longer, you will want to use the next option.
Otherwise, you may manually create an Activity and copy/paste the email to the Content tab and save the email attachments on the Attachments tab.
If the email body is longer than 64K, another option may be to create a Service Call record and break up the email into multiple Activity records that are created from the Service Call so they are all together thru the S/C record.

Importing directly from bluetooth & directly from email attachments

Why isn't there an ultra simple way to import photos into iPhoto directly from bluetooth and from email attachments WITHOUT having to save the photos in a directory first and then import from the directory???
It seems dumb that I can't just zap photos directly from my mobile phone into iPhoto and even dumber that the "save" option for email attachments in Mail doesn't give a "send to iPhoto" option instead.

... and even dumber that
the "save" option for email attachments in Mail
doesn't give a "send to iPhoto" option instead.
It does under Tiger (OS X 10.4). When viewing a message with attached photos, click and hold on the small grey Save button next to the subject. At the bottom of the menu which pops out, choose Add to iPhoto. Done.

What program is required to open email attachments on I mac

I have just purchased my first I mac desk top
The only thing not working for me is email attachments cant be viewed
i use iphone and ipad with a application for the same message type
What is needed for the imac Please Tim

Rule one what type of format? docx or pdf or .pages that the iDevices have and desktop does not?
No matter what platform.
You are btw in a forum not for iMac users or even Mountain Lion. Mac Pro. 65lbs of desktop / workstation.
Preview will open some, Pages will open (import really) and I keep OpenOffice.org around to open a large variety. Even Textedit can open or preview Word documents.
Specifics and details.

Some users are experiencing difficulty opening certain docx files sent as email attachments. These files contain content controls to protect data in the document. Could someone please confirm that the content controls are the reason the files won't open.

Cannot save email attachments to folders in Finder

Ughhh, I'm getting a sinking feeling.... It's happening again.
Ever since I installed Mavericks back in June of 2014, I've had nothing but problems. In fact, the actual install (perhaps coincidentally, I'm told) caused my hard drive to fail in mid-install, even though it was only 2 years old. Apple Care cheerfully paid for the new hard drive and installed Mavericks for me, but ever since my previously fast, responsive computer has been incredibly sluggish, lots of beach balls, tons of problems with things like the one I'm experiencing again today -- can't save email attachments to folders in Finder (the computer behaves as if the save was successful, but when you go look in the Finder later, you discover it was never saved anywhere). Also, I can't create any new folders because it says the location is Read Only (I've tried various file locations -- same result).
Since June, after countless visits to the Genius Bar and all sorts of attempts to fix the accumulating problems, the Genius erased my User Library last December in a final attempt to get the computer to work right before my Apple Care ran out. It was one of many attempted fixes that would actually work pretty well for a few days, but then the problems would accumulate again.
Last week, Word kept crashing. I took it to the Genius Bar and the June 2014 hard drive failed a diagnostic test. Even though Apple Care had expired, Apple replaced the hard drive for free because they could see the long list of notes from all of the visits I had made to the Genius Bar. I restored everything and, although it seemed to be working okay at first, I was still getting a lot of beach balls. Sometimes it can take 30 seconds to open a Word document, even if the application is already open. (FYI, I don't keep a lot of applications running.) But at least it was working. Today, however, I'm seeing some of the old familiar problems creep in. I cannot save email attachments to a folder. I cannot create new folders. I've tried restarting the computer multiple times. All of this was working fine as recently as yesterday.
1. Am I doing something that is causing this? This is my sixth Mac and I've never a serious problem with ANY of the others (including one that I bought USED) and I use them at least 8 hours a day. As far as I know, I'm doing everything the same way I've always done it.
2. Has anyone else encountered this "Read Only" problem and do you know how to fix it? I'm starting to think this is just a bad computer and that this is a symptoms that something is very wrong again.
3. Do I simply need to start over with a brand new computer (although, frankly, I'm scared to restore everything onto a new computer and risk "infecting" the new one). This is my work computer and I am self-employed, so I really cannot afford to be running to the Genius Bar once or twice a week any longer. Any advice? It's a MacBook Pro that I bought in December 2011. According to the stats, I'm using 354.68 GB of my 499.25 GB storage capacity.
Sorry this is so long. Just trying to give the context.

Why does Reader XI download email attachments to my Download folder before I am able to print them?

After last update my Reader XI automatically downloads email attachments (.pdf) to my Downloads folder. I then have to open that file in order to print it. Before, the attachment would open in Reader and I could print from that direct.

Windows 8, Firefox email client. What happens is that I click on attachment links in emails, which are .pdf files. Instead of a menu allowing opening of the file with Reader, the file gets automatically downloaded to my Downloads folder. I then have to open that folder, click on the file name... then Reader opens and I can view the file as well as print it from the Reader menu.

Email attachments download as ashx for Microsoft Outlook, instead of jpg, pdf, doc, etc. Tried to fix in Preferences Applications but still doesn't work.

Using MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Downloaded Firefox 8 on 11/9/11 and now Microsoft Outlook Web App 2010 downloads all email attachments as "attachment.ashx" instead of jpg, pdf, etc. This was not a problem with previous Firefox releases which I've been using for the past couple of years. Can open files if I edit the extension to the proper variety (ashx to jpg for example), but no longer initially automatically opens. Instead I first get a "can't open this file" message. Attempted to fix in Firefox > Preferences > Applications by indicating the proper "Actions" for various "Content Types" but this had no effect. Chrome and Safari browsers still work properly. How can I fix this?

How to delete email attachments from server

Hi,
I created an a CF template for sending e-mail which includes
attachments. It has been tested on my dev box and is functioning
fine as the attachment upload to a designated directory on the
server. I would like the attachments to be purged once the e-mail
has been forwarded to the recipent.
In Macromedia's ColdFuision 7MX web application construction
book page 913 "Interacting with Email" there is a CFC that will
delete the file when the user ends their session.
I am not sure how to write this to fit the code I am using.
Here is the eMail form

<html>
<head>
<title>Please enter your message</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="Send_Email.cfm" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table width="500" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width = "500" colspan="2">Please enter your e-mail
message:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="250">To:</td>
<td width="250"><input type="text" name="to_addr"
value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Subject:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="subject"
value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Message:</td>
<td><input textarea name="message" rows="5"
cols="35"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="250">Attachment #1:</td>
<td width="250"><input type="file"
name="attachment_1" value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="250">Attachment #2:</td>
<td width="250"><input type="file"
name="attachment_2" value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="250">Attachment #3:</td>
<td width="250"><input type="file"
name="attachment_3" value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="250"> </td>
<td width="250"><input type="submit"
name="Send_Email" value="SendEmail"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Here is the form to send the attachment.


<cfif FORM.attachment_1 neq "">

<cffile action="upload"
destination="D:\uploadsTEST\"
filefield="attachment_1"
nameconflict="makeunique">

<cfset attachment_local_file_1 =

</cfif>
<cfif FORM.attachment_3 neq "">
<cfmailparam file="#attachment_local_file_3#">
</cfif>
</cfsilent>
</cfmail>
Here is the session application code to delete the file upon
uploading

<cfcomponent output="false">

<cfset this.name="attachmentPurge">

<cfset this.sessionManagement=true>
<cfset this.clientMangment=true>
<cffunction name="onSessionEnd" output="false"
returnType="void">

<cfset var attachDir = expandPath("Attach")>
<cfset var getFiles = "">
<cfset var thisFile = "">

<cfdirectory directory="#attachDir#" name="getFiles">

<cfloop query="getFiles">

<cfif getFiles.type neq "Dir">

<cfset thisFile =
expandPath("Attach\#getFiles.Name#")>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
The tutorial only explains how to delete the attachment when
the recipient checks there mail
in the POP server.
Assuming that the sender is in a session would the code be
written to delete the attached file from the directory on
the server one the e-mail is sent.
Can someone explain how to automatically delete email
attachments from a designated directory or provide me with the code
that would handle this after an email is sent with attachment.
Thanks,
Tony

I don't know why your dos code didn't run. It could be
addressing. My limited experience with cfdirectory/cffile/cfexecute
is to type out the complete path at least once.
Good books?
Hard to say, depends on what else you are new at. If you are
new to html, then htmlgoodies.com has good tutorials. So does
webmonkey.com. If you have trouble with sql, I have heard good
things about the SAMS book, Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes by Ben
Forta. I learned javascript by buying the book Teach Yourself
Javascript in 24 Hours. The O'Reilly books are also good. I learned
awk with one of those books.
Glad you liked the fish pics. The camera is specified on most
of the pages. If it says Reefmaster, I used an external strobe. If
it says Sony I either used the camera flash only or natural light.
By the way, that is not a Cold Fusion site. It's strictly html and
javascript.

Can I import email addresses from a contact group into a new email?

Import email addresses? I'm trying to send an electronic invitation to a group of about 50 people. I have to enter each of their email addresses, and rather than typing them one by one, I'm wondering if I can import all of their email addresses from a group I created in my Address Book. I'm sending the invitation through the company's website, nut my email, so the email address does not appear when I start typing their names. Thanks!

Open a new message and start typing the groups name in the 'To' field works for me. Some e-mail providers have limits on how many addressees can be in one e-mail.

Mail 4.5 - how do I permanently delete email attachments?

I'm using Mail 4.5 on OS X 10.6.8 - I'm using a late-2008 aluminium unibody MacBook with a 250GB hard drive and I only have 4Gb of available space left. I'm trying to free up space on my hard disk and I downloaded Disk Inventory X to check what was taking up so much space - apart from my iPhoto library and Pictures folder which together account for about 125GB I see that the folder containing Mail messages is 42.8GB in size!
I'm assuming that this is because I've received a lot of photos via email but I've added the ones I wanted to my iPhoto library so I assume I no longer need the images that were emailed to me.
Can someone please tell me where I can find these email attachments so that I can delete them all at once - I'm hoping that I don't have to go through all my emails one by one to select and delete them individually?
Cheers
Tricia

Hi again .... The Preferences/Accounts/Advanced tab is set to Keep all messages and their attachments for offline viewing.
I agree that it seems strange to say that junk messages should never be deleted ... it was one of the settings in the article that I thought odd but assumed that 'there must be a reason'.
I had a look in my Macintosh HD/Tricia/Library/Mail folders - there would appear to be a great many ....
Disk Inventory is telling me that my Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Recovered Messages folders are the following size -
Mail 46.4 GB
Mailboxes 44.8 GB
Recovered Messages 42.1 GB
When I look at the Recovered Messages data it shows 775 messages numbered from 260549 to 161324 with a suffix of .emlx - each one is 69.6 MB exactly! Apart from these messages there are another 40 odd with sizes that range from 5.6MB down to 2KB. I have the feeling that this might be where my problem arises but I have no idea what these Recovered Messages are.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Tricia

How can I open email attachments in Pages?

I am unable to open email attachments such as Word docs and PDFs in Pages. If I select them I get "open in mover lite." Until recently, when I selected them I could open in iBooks but that is no longer an option for me. I am not sure iBooks would help anyway!
How can I open attachments in Pages?
Thank you,
Prea

according to MS KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278061
That file is made when someone is using Rich text format and attaches a file. Have them switch to either HTML or plain text and reatatch the file and you should see the proper attachments.

After my OS update I can no longer open email attachments. What could be the issue??

After my latest OS update I can no longer open email attachments. What might be in the issue??

Quit Mail and restart.
Select each of your mailboxes and select Rebuild under the Mailboxes menu.
If those don't help, then reinstall Yosemite:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

After update I am no longer able to open email attachments by just clicking on the attachment. I now have to click control and then click open linked file. How can I open attachments by simply clicking on them?

Unless you believe middle-click is yours and don't like it being usurped, mine is set globally to "Enter".
