Intermittent image link behaviour in iOS mail client

We use image links with a mailto reference for mobil approvals. For some reason the links occasionally do not behave as links but instead are processed only has an image, meaning the save image / copy menu pops up opposed to an email draft. I have stripped the html email down to the bare minimum but still happens. Same mail works fine on some phones/ipads. Any thoughts much appreciated.

I have the same problem. iPhone 4 is on iOS 5.1 (9B176) and iPad 2 on iOS 5.1 (9B176). I have seen someone with an iPhone 4S that apparently did not have that problem (there the menu also has an "open" option). Also I noticed that if you touch the icon before the image has finished loading (so with a very large image), it actually does open the URL, but once the image has been loaded, it assumes that you want to save or copy the image.

  • Local folders in IOS mail client - please.....

    I have a mail account that allows me to use either POP3 or IMAP
    The mail provider junks my mail after 30 days, so I need to keep local copies on my iPad
    Snag is, if I use IMAP to connect to the mail server, although I can create folders, these are NOT local and are still subject to the 30 day purge
    If I use POP3 I do get local copies of my mail, so they are protected from the 30 day purge, BUT I cannot create local folders so everything has to stay in my INBOX
    These seem to be the only choices I have as I don't see a way to create local folders for a POP3 mail account - and neither do any 3rd party mail apps I have looked at provide the same functionality
    This is most frustrating

    Update
    We've had zoho mail accounts lying around for some time, and I can define one of these as an IMAP mail account from iPad
    I can create folders at will on the zoho account AND IOS mail client allows me to move mail messaged BETWEEN mail accounts, so she can keep her existing mail account but move things she wants to keep easily to zoho
    Not ideal, but workable

  • Apple Mail and IOS mail client's auto configuration

    Good morning,
    Does any kind of documentation exist, anywhere, of how Apple Mail and IOS does autodiscover (how they handle it) and which XML format does it require for non Exchange accounts to be autoconfigured (an IMAP account with SSL and SMTP SSL too?.
    Best regards,

    Good morning Eric,
    Thank you so much for your answer. Básically the answer I'm trying to get is how to manage for autoconfigure Apple Mail and iOS Mail automatically with a not "so known" email provider such us Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, like can be Sarenet (www.sarenet.es). I mean which kind of info should an XML or DNS SRV record contain in order to achieve this goal?. My answer requirement is far more specific that yours. Anyway thanks a lot as said before .

  • IOS mail client not working in certain wifi networks

    Hey,
    this is driving me crazy:
    When I use my iPad or iPhone within our universities eduroam wifi network, receiving and sending mails does not work.
    I am using a google apps account. One would say, ok that's due to some IMAP and SMTP port blocking. However it isn't. Using my android phone with the same settings it just wouldn't work ... Never!
    Using my iPad in other networks works just fine ...
    Please help me with some suggestions.
    Jacob

    It could be the network, but what surprises me is that nothing else is being blocked at all. And I can't seem to change the port that Mail is on. I tried a port scan, and it came up that that port is blocked (993), but it also came up that every other port I tried was also blocked. I used a Mac to do a Port Scan for my iPad's IP, but it wasn't detecting any open ports. So I don't know if it is an issue with the network, or perhaps with my iOS devices. The network has 802.1X security I believe (I need a username and password to login), so unsure if this would affect it at all?

  • Forms 6i, open default mail client and add attachment to message

    Hi,
    I would like to use some functionality in my forms application. I want call some action, that opens default mail client in windows platform and add some attachment to message. I want to do this for my reports. I am exporting reports to PDF files. I am using oracle forms / reports 6.0.8.12.1 version. And I cant use build-in PDF export functionality, because exported PDF files are in old PDF version and I have problem with Czech charakters. So I am using my own virtual PDF printer for printing reports. A now I would like to send report as mail attachment. I know that there is this functionality in report preview. When I click button with letter image (showed on screenshot at http://img20.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00067_screen_122_899lo.JPG) the default mail client is opened in this is created new messages with report (eps) in attachment.
    That is what i need. Only open default mail client and add own attachment to message.
    I found only one solution for Outlook, but I need open default mail client (for example Mozilla Thunderbird etc.)
    Can You help me? Or send some solution how it is solved in report previewer?
    Thank you.

  • IOS Mail permanently deletes messages

    I've noticed several times that the iOS mail client occasionally does an unprompted permanent-delete of messages in my trash can. There's a similar complaint about it from 2008 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1362228?start=15&tstart=0).
    I've got the following setup:
    iOS 6.1.2
    Gmail account via Exchange
    Here are the steps that occurred:
    Opened Mail to view new messages in inbox
    Deleted several messages (sent them to trash)
    Inadvertently deleted a message I wanted to keep
    Went to trash folder, which started a download of the most recent contents of my trash folder
    Saw the messages I just deleted
    The download of my trash folder completes, causing the messages I just deleted to get permanently deleted
    I can't see the messages I deleted anywhere, not in the Gmail app, nor in the Gmail web client.
    I've never seen this behavior in any other client except for iOS Mail. I'm not sure if it's issue with the app, the way it handles the Exchange protocol, or the way Gmail talks to the Exchange protocol. Any ideas? This seems like really bad bug.

    I have no idea what or why this happened!
    All of a sudden, I'm able to delete read mail and have it appear in the trash (as it should) and am able to read it there, and remain there, until I want to permanently delete it!!!
    I'm convinced this had to be an Apple problem but really haven't seen anything confirming this.
    Note:
    Even though I was unable to see the mail in the trash it was still on my comp. I just had to hunt for it...Library/Mail/Deleted Messages, so all wasn't lost.
    Thanks for all you people do to help us frustrated but happy MAC'ers. I wouldn't trade
    my MAC for anything.

  • Duplicated IMAP labels in iOS Mail

    Hi folks, I am pulling my Gmail account down via IMAP and recently noticed the strange/frustrating issue that all of my labels are appearing twice in iOS Mail's folder list when I drill into "Accounts > Gmail".
    The tags have not been duplicated on the server side. The actual folders, with the exact same emails in them, are simply appearing twice in the list. In fact, if I tap into a the second listing of my "Notices" folder, when I tap back out to the top level of navigation, the animation shows me emerging from the first listing. I tap into one folder, but the OS knows it's exactly the same as the other folder.
    I've deleted and readded the Gmail account twice now, and restarted the phone. I've purged my labels on Gmail. But the duplication persists. I'm afraid to use Mail on iOS to delete one of the label sets because I don't want to accidentally delete the entire label and all the conversations assigned. And again, the label itself is not duplicated on Gmail.
    Help!

  • Since iOS 8.1.2 upgrade problems with yahoo mail via apple mail client

    Since the upgrade to iOS 8.1.2 on my iPad I'm having issues with my yahoo mail account when using the apple mail client. I can send emails but cannot receive them. When I use the yahoo mail app there is no problem Sending or receiving. I have deleted and reinstalled my yahoo email account from the apple mail client. I have checked the wifi by changing between wifi hotspots. I have also restarted the iPad as well as resetting. None of these actions have resolved the problem. would appreciate any assistance that can be provided.

    Do you use two-step verification for your Yahoo! account? If yes, you need an app-specific password.
    If no, make sure your password is already entered in the "Outgoing Mail Server" in the Settings app.

  • "Send link..." context menu item does not launch the mail client

    This was working in Firefox 12 but with the latest update to Firefox 13.x no mail client is launched (mine is Thunderbird) when context menu item "Send link..." is clicked.
    '''I have tried this with all addons disabled''' but the same problem is occurring.
    Does it happen for you? If not, how could I solve it?
    I will report as a bug if others have this problem.
    Thanks.

    I changed the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto setting in about:config to the default value (true) and that seemed to fix it.
    I don't know what changed it before though.

  • TS4208 Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting

    Apple Mail client no longer marks my mail as read on all my iOS devices. If I read a email on my iPhone and later open Mail on my iPad, the iPad still shows the email as unread.This changed recently, perhaps after iOS7 upgrade. Did I miss a setting? All mail account are IMA. iCloud is set to push, business mail is set to fetch every 15 minutes.

    Read thier own support document on the subject then
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1795
    This document was written as an answer to all those who complained about it as paying MobileMe users
    They ignored us then and when MobileMe became iCloud they ignored us again, and just carried on with a system that will not update the e-mail read status across all devices
    That's how it works,   and like you 1000's of loyal Apple users cant believe it either but there you go

  • Ios 7 E-Mail-Client mit T-Online

    Einrichtung eines E-Mail-Accounts von T-Online mit dem Apple iOS 7 E-Mail-Client
    Ich hatte große Schwierigkeiten bei der Einrichtung von T-Online-E-Mail-Accounts in Apple iOS 7 auf allen Gerätetypen (iPhone 5s, iPad, iPod Touch), die bei iOS 6 nicht auftraten bzw. treten. Die Hotlines der Telekom und Apples konnten mir nicht weiterhelfen. Die Lösung meines Problems führe ich hier auf.
    Grundsätzlich gilt: Seit 01.03.2014 ist das T-Online-Postfach als IMAP-Postfach mit SSL-Verschlüsselung einzurichten.
    Achtung! Das Passwort für den Zugang zum Telekom-Kundencenter und zum Telekom-E-Mail-Center ist nicht das E-Mail-Passwort. Dieses ist im E-Mail-Center gesondert für die Benutzung externer E-Mail-Clients - wie Outlook oder dem Apple E-Mail-Programm im iOS 7 - einzurichten. T-Online gibt als Einstellung für die Server an:
    Posteingangsserver: secureimap.t-online.de, Port: 993, Sicherheit: SSL/TLS,
    Postausgangsserver: securesmtp.t-online.de, Port: 465, Sicherheit: SSL/TLS.
    Diese Einstellung funktioniert bei mir nicht! Stattdessen funktioniert die auch automatisch gefundene Einstellung:
    Posteingangsserver: secureimap.t-online.de, Port: 993, Sicherheit: SSL/TLS,
    Postausgangsserver: securesmtp.t-online.de, Port: 587, Sicherheit: SSL/TLS.
    Im Apple-iOS kann man nur SSL auf "ein" stellen, was für die Einrichtung auch reicht.
    Im Übrigen sollte man bei neu eingerichteten E-Mail-Accounts im E-Mail-Center die Einstellung für die Speicherdauer der E-Mails von den voreingestellten 90 Tagen auf "nie löschen" stellen.

  • Why do image links in my HTML signature get turned into inline images?

    I have written a program to create HTML signature files for email programs at my workplace.
    The signature file uses URLs to images hosted on a server. This appears to work fine, but I've noticed that when I send an email from Icedove (Thunderbird rebadged for Debian), the image links automatically get turned into attachments. These are then visible as base64-encoded MIME blocks in the email source.
    I cannot find any option for altering this behaviour anywhere in the application, even in the Config Editor.
    Can anybody advise me how to change this behaviour? Thanks in advance.
    I am running Icedove v.17 for Debian 64 bit.

    By default Thunderbird attaches all images, even if the <img> element points to a remote resource. Most e-mail clients block remote content these days unless the user authorizes it (see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991448 this thread] for an in-depth discussion) due to potential privacy/tracking issues. Thus, the image your are adding as a remote resource may not display the first time the recipient opens the message.
    If you want to change your code respectively anyway, have a look at [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_complex_mails_with_inline_images#Remote_images this article]. You'll have to add an attribute <img '''moz-do-not-send="true"'''> to the element which will Tell Thunderbird to ''not'' download the image from the server and embedding it into the message on sending.

  • [solved] XFCE default mail client

    In preferred applications in the XFCE settings manager the two simple questions appeared: default web browser and default mail client.  I set these to firefox and thunderbird respectively, and XFCE indeed recognized that I meant Bon Echo and Mail/News. For the strangest reason, every hyperlink to an HTTP or FTP protocol will indeed open up in firefox and go where it should, but mailto links will do nothing.  In firefox I searched about:config for all options containing the world "mail" and set them to enable as many things as possible.  Gmail is smart enough to open mailto links because it overrides the default mail client behaviour and just opens up a Gmail compose window, which I'm sure many of you know.  This is another one of those minor problems that I'm having alot of these days, so any help would be appreciated.

  • Lion Server: iOS 5 clients can't connect to Address Card Server

    I have set up shared accounts on the server for Calendar and Address Book (family) sharing. Although I can add and use the Address Book shared account on OS X Lion clients, I can't get this to work on iOS 5 clients (iPhone nor iPad). I keep on getting "CardDAV account verification failed".
    Calendar sharing works just fine on both OS X and iOS5 clients
    Let me briefly describe my setup and observations:
    Server:
    Running Lion Server 10.7.2 on Mac Mini (server)
    Using SSL connections with keys generated during set-up of the server
    Portforwarding in router (ao) for 8008 and 8843 (iCal and Address Book)
    Created  shared accounts on server for Calendar ("sharedcalendar") and Address Book ("sharedcontacts")
    In the DNS server I created services in my primary zone for "_caldavs._tcp." and "_carddavs._tcp." both on port 8443
    OS X Client (Calendar)
    Created additional CalDAV account in preferences (user "sharedcalendar")
    Left the server settings untouched (server path, port "auto" and using SSL but not Kerberos)
    Created in "sharedcalendar" different calendars and reminder lists for the family members which each can access from their OS X client
    This account is now set-up through Profile Manager (tried this with Address Book as well but didn't make any difference)
    iOS 5 Client (Calendar)
    Once tested on standalone and got this working I'm now using the Profile Manager to push the definition of the shared account to all clients
    Hostname with port 8443 (default)
    Left Principal URL blank since it was optional
    User "shared calendar" with the appropriate password
    Ticked "Use SSL"
    OS X client (Address Book)
    Created additional CardDAV account in preferences (user "sharedcontacts").
    Left the server settings untouched (port 443 using SSL)
    iOS 5 client (Address Book)
    In the settings add a CardDAV account (server, user "sharedcontacts", password, description).
    First error message "Cannot connect Using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?". When I press continue I get the error "CardDAV account verification failed"
    If I then save the account details still and edit the account I can access the "advanced settings". When I change to SSL I have tried port 0 (default value), 8443 (the one that's listed in the documentation) and 8843 (which is used by default if you try to set up the
    account in Profile Manager). All to no avail, including Profile Manager
    Observations:
    Lion Server app nicely lists both Calendar and Address Book Server as active (plus Profile Manager, File Server, Web server and Wiki server)
    When I access my server home page, Calendar is listed in addition to other services (Mail | Calendar | Change Password | Profile Manager) but not Address Book. Is this normal behaviour? i.e. can't Address Book entries be changed through a web interface?
    Address Book on OS X client uses 443 for SSL but does not require me to define port 8443 for secure iCal or Address Book server communications
    Lion Server Profile Manager specifies port 8843 as port for SSL communication. I only saw 8443 listed in documentation
    The response "can't connect .." or "account verification failed" happens very quick which make me think either the verification doesn't even leave the iPad or there is something wrong in the SSL connection
    Since iCal set-up works nicely using the same ports I am puzzled why it doesn't work for Address Book
    Your solutions or suggestions how to investigate are most welcome,
    Erik

    Thanks for joining the discussion.
    Although port 8443 is mosten quoted as correct port for CalDAV and CardDAV, port 8843 can be found both on Apple's website and other places:
    see Technical Note 1649 to find port 8443 listed for iCal and port 8843 for Address Book
    Mac OS X Lion Server for Dummies (sic) lists port 8843 on pages 236 and 238 but port 8443 in many other places
    when you want to push iCal and Address Book information with Profile Manager, Profile Manager lists port 8443 for iCal but port 8843 for Address Book as default:
    So I hope you understand I'm somewhat puzzled.
    I did get the Address Book working for my Lion desktops with the all the necessary certificates as far as I know, just not for the iOS devices (iPhone and IpPad). iCal sharing from Lion Server works fine on both Lion and iOS devices.
