Individual attachment size in mail app

I was able to see the size of individual attachments in the old version of mail.
I now only see the total size and the number of attachments.
Does anyone know how to display the size of individual attachments in the new lion mail app?

CT,
Our company works with photos and some of them are send by email so yes, incoming mail.
I would like to see the size (kb) of the individual attachments.
I only see the total now while in the old version i could see the size of all of them seperate.
Hope this helps.
I am not sure still - do you mean see the individual sizes within a received message? I can see that info when I am viewing by icon

How to set minimum font size in mail app?

How can I set a minimum font size in mail app? I have received mails that have a font size that seems to be smaller than 9pt which results being nearly unreadable. Sure its possible to increase the font size by pressing cmd + "+" but this setting isn't remembered for the next time I open these mails. Prior to Mavericks there was a solution to write the minimum font size to the defaults. Anything similar for Yosemite?

No, this only applies to the font size for the header displayed above the mail content and the font type and size of the Rich Text mails your are composing. With this setting you cannot modify the font size or type of received messages.

Limit on Attachment Size in Mail

I want to receive mails with a text file attachment (.csv file). I receive it OK and can view the attachment in the mail if the attachment is just a few lines, but i don't receive the mail at all if the attachment is a little larger. Is there a limit on the file size of attchments ?
Also, is it possible to save an attchment from an email so that it can be used by another App ?
(I have a spreadsheet app and would like to be able to pick up a .csv file sent to me via email).
thanks, Keith

Most email services have limits on the size of attachments, they can vary. But from your description, your file doesn't sound like its that big, it should transmit.
For attachments, press and hold the attachment icon, a menu should pop up that includes "open in" where you can open it in any app that is compatible with that file format. I'm not sure a csv file would connect with a spreadsheet app like Numbers, though.

Receiving attachment problems in Mail.app

I'm having a problem with attachments being received by Mail.app (version 3.3 on 10.5.4). Basically, the messages show that attachments are associated with the message, but they have zero size. I'm connecting to an IMAP server over SSL (uw-imapd on Debian). If I use Thunderbird on the same iMac the attachments are there just fine. This seems to be related to people sending mail from AOL.
Any suggestions on where I should look for a solution to the problem?

The icons are there at the bottom of the message. On mouse over they say "Not yet Downloaded". If I control-click the icon and select "Quick look" I get:
"Mail was unable to save the attachment “CIMG7512.JPG” to disk. Please verify your downloads folder exists and is writable."
Control-click/open results in nothing.
Attachments from other messages work fine, so the download folder exists and is writable.
There are 3 attachments. Header on first is:
-------------------------------1208029702--
--part2c27.34062a16.35326c62boundary
Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="CIMG7512.JPG"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="CIMG7512.JPG"

How can I update the "Last Saved" time of individual notes in the Mail app

I have about 30 notes in my Mail app, which I conveniently sync to my iPhone via iTunes.
Problem is, the iPhone only sorts by modification date, whereas I want them sorted alphabetically.
If I knew where the individual notes files were located on the Mac, I could write a simple shell script to sort them and then touch the files to update the modification date.
I look in user/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Notes.mbox, but the individual notes files don't appear accessible.
Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish what I'm after?
TIA

I suppose you could copy it from the Raw Source. View>Message>Raw Source

Missing attachment size in mail 4.3

Hi, when I attach a jpeg to an email, I can see the size of the attachment at the bottom of the window but when I attach a pdf, the 'message size' and 'image size' are both missing. Please does anybody know if this is standard or do I have a problem?

Stuart,
The problem in the earlier version of Mail was that if the Image Size button were used with PDF, to anything other than Actual Size, the PDF was converted to a JPEG and havoc resulted. It was very purposefully removed in later versions of Mail unless true image files that could be downsized as JPEG files were what were attached. I know this because I was one who pointed out the error that could result. The resizing was prevented in the final Version of Mail 2.x, but the Message size Report and Image Size button were not removed when attaching PDF until Mail 3.x and later.
The current behavior is not a bug, and the Message Size was only meant to appear when Image Size button could be used to reduce the size of the files, and thus the entire message.

Change font size in mail app

Maximum attachment size for Mail 4.3 and can it be changed?

Hi,
We are using Exchange 2010 at work and have found via several Mac users, and which I have verified myself, that Mac Mail appears to impose its own maximum attachment size limits, somewhere around 10MB. If I take the exact same message and send it via my PC running Outlook 2007 the message sends correctly.
We have 4 users who reported the same thing so it isn't isolated to one machine. I have confirmed and re-confirmed that our Hub and Edge transports are configured to allow 100MB e-mails. Mac Mail has other ideas.
Is there a way to change this limitation as I can't seem to find anything, via Google and/or searching these groups?
I don't want to go back to Thunderbird or, worse yet, Entourage......

It appears in this case to be a failure on Apples part to develop an application that support MAPI. Hopefully the forthcoming release of Office 2011 will rectify this situation.
As I said I have gone through our setup of 6 exchange servers, covering all the bases.
For instance,
get-mailbox <user> | fl MaxSize
MaxSendSize : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
MaxReceiveSize : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
Get-TransportConfig | fl MaxSize
MaxReceiveSize : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
MaxSendSize : 100 MB (104,857,600 bytes)
All receive connectors are configured to 100MB also on our Hub Transports.
Even the fix listed in the links above, related to EWS and changing the IIS settings, which is where the issue seems to be, doesn't seem to work for me. It may be that I have missed something of course so I'll look over those links once more.
Maybe restarting IIS after the changes were made wasn't enough.....
Of course the other fix, since it works perfectly well with Windows machines and Outlook is to do away with our Macs entirely. Boy that would make me happy!!

HT2954 unable to attach anything in mail app mac os x

When using the mail app in mac os x 10.8.2 I can't attach any files to an e-mail. When I press the paper clip, I get no action, Attach a file as a menu choice does nothing either. Help!

As stated in my original post, looking at the contents of the disc shows nothing at all. No files, folders or anything, just a blank white space.
The MacDrive/MediaFour solution, also stated in my post, from what I can tell that's a 3rd party program is it not? The website shows it as a $49 program.
I ran the installation for WinXP with SP2, it installed fine, I then put the OSX DVD into the drive for the drivers. Literally. No other programs were run or installed, as soon as XP was loaded I took the disc out and stuck the OSX disc into the drive. Currently no network card drivers so, can't update via the internet.
I have since then deleted the partition, recreated it, re-ran the installation of XP and same thing.
I'll have to say, I prefer the beta version of Boot Camp better for having made a driver disc. If they left it that way but gave the option to save to USB it would have been much better.
I think I know where the old Boot Camp driver CD is so will try that when back at work on Thursday.
I have to ask about the MediaFour/MACDrive solution though. I have seen a few posts like this and someone always brings that up as a solution. Is it supposed to be on the computer or is it indeed a 3rd party program you purchase? Because I didn't see it as part of the directions for BootCamp and can't see Apple producing something that requires 3rd party software to work.

Gmail Webmail smaller than size of mail app i

My Gmail thru webmail shows that there are 20 GB of space being used, yet in my Mail app, the size of the mail box is 50 GB, why so much more in the app vs the webmail?
thanks

Ooops, re-read it.
Space available Space used and total space are not the same thing, what is the space available in the client as compared to the website.

Cannot attach files in Mail app - claims file is empty

I have tried to attach several files to to an email through the mail app and when sent out they arrive as empty shells with the same filename. If i try to drag the file into the window it will appear but the file is empty. If I use the attach (paperclip) it simply does not appear at all.
I have tried to delete the /Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist for it is no longer located in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist.
I have tried a Time Machine Restore from several weeks ago but apparently it existed then too. I have tried repairing permissions through Disk Utility.
when attaching Console says this:
4/13/13 8:54:24.941 AM sandboxd[729]: ([718]) Mail(718) deny file-read-xattr /Users/Username/Desktop/Test copy.JPG
when i load the mail app i get this:
4/13/13 8:53:49.465 AM Mail[718]: Keychain sandbox consume extension error: s=-1 p= Cannot allocate memory

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Photo attachment size in Mail

Hi
When I attach photos into a mail, they appear as actual size.
I would like all my attachment photos to appear as icons.
I can then change the size of the photos into an icon but have to change each one individually.
Is there a way to do a defult setting so that when I attach photos, they automatically go in as icons?
Cheers
Woodsie

Folks
This is not an issue, it's a feature. By this I mean it's intended behaviour. Apple have not "fixed it" because as far as they are concerned it's not broken. If you would like the behaviour changed then
1. Install Mail-Attachments-Iconizer. I see one poster mentions he had issues with it but I've used for years with none.
2. Always send your messages as Plain text: (Mail -> Preferences -> Composing). This will help with the pic arriving embedded. Though remember, the settings on the recipient's email client is the biggest factor in deciding how the email will display on their machine. Also, remember there's no reason why any other client "should" behave exactly like Eudora.
3. If you want Mail to be changed there is no point in posting here. This is a User to User forum, and Apple do not promise to read it. So, if you want more options, a new default setting or even new preferences: Contact the developers of Mail:
Mail menu -> Provide Mail Feedback
The more folk that do, the better the chance of things being changed.

Reduce Attachment size in Mail on iPad (4.2)

Greetings:
I have spent a ton of time trying to find out how to do this but only seem to see where people talk about the ability to "select size of photo attachments" yet I cannot figure out how to actually do this.
This is a big deal for me as I mail images all the time and want to set my iPad up so it reduces the size of the image if possible
Thanks
Doug

Thanks for the information. I looked for the User Guide on the iPad page in the online store and the link was still to the old PDF file--my first clue was the "orientation" toggle was listed and not the silent switch. After your reply I went back in to search under manuals and found it. I downloaded it to the iBook for easy reference.
By the way, I also noted that some photos I saved from the web directly on my iPad were not able to be resized when I attempted to email them. I don't pretend to understand that <g>

How to increase the font size inside Mail.app

Mail essentially has two panels:
- a left panel showing the header and first couple of lines of incoming emails;
- a right panel showing the contents of an email that has been selected in the left panel.
Using Mail's preferences, I was able to increase the font size of the header information of emails in the right panel.
However, I was unable to find a way to increase the font size for messages in the left panel or for the contents of an email in the right panel.
Is this possible? If so, how can this be done?
Thank you.

You can't for incoming emails. When viewing an email the ⌘+ key combination will increase the font in the viewed email incrementally.
Or you can do it thru this menu option:

Mail.app: I can't send attachment with "space" in filename

Hi.
I've this kind of problem. I think it is Mail.app problem. The mail isn't sent if the attachment's filename contains "space" (eg: "file name.pdf").
The same email is sent finw if I use Thunderbird with the same SMTP server (Leopard Server) and from the same machine.
If the recipinets in local (not relayed over internet) it works well. Otherwise the SMTP server tell me it have lost connection whith relay server (ISP SMTP server).
I've used Lotus domino Server as SMTP server with the same result.
If I cut the "space" (' ') in the attachment's filename Mail.app works fine as well.
HELP!
thanks.
P.S.: sorry for my english

There is a bug which causes the filenames of attachments with a space or an accented character in the name to have characters appended to the filename extension; it may be that it also sometimes stops the attachment from sending. But other people have reported problems with mails with attachments not sending regardless of the filename, so I think the next software update will see some fixes.
Meanwhile, don't use spaces!
