IPad and Email Attachments

I use my IPad with exchange email. I cannot forward emails with attachments with my IPad. Any ideas about this? I really want to use my ipad in my business but at this point my IPhone and IPad are fairly useless. I would appreciate any help someone could give.

too large error? see this
Update to my scenario. I figured it out. We are on Exchange 2007 on Server 2003 and we are using Active Sync with Client Certificates. We did not notice much of a problem when sending using IOS 6 but with IOS 7 it was much more prevalent, any message over 100K would get rejected as too large. turns out it was a problems with IIS 6 and the uploadreadaheadsize value in the IIS metabase. Here is a link regarding it for 2010

here is one for 2007

I bumped mine up to 10Mb and now attachments are going through fine. THis probably should have been done a long time ago, but the symptoms really just reared its ugly head after the ios 7 upgrade.
I hope this helps others, as i was pulling my hair out all weekend trying to figure this out.

Malware Policy - Scan Email and Email Attachments

Hi there,
When creating a custom malware policy there is a setting under "Scan Settings" called "Scan Email and Email Attachments" and I have a number of questions regarding it.
Which email clients does this policy support?
Which email protocols does it support - POP3, IMAP, MAPI?
How and when does it scan the incoming email and attachments?
One of the reasons I ask is that we recently had a user hit with the Crypt Locker virus which went on to encrypt 40,000 files on network folders. The infection was encounter via a pishing email in Outlook 2013 and I would have thought MS EP would have caught
the payload when the link was clicked on or attachment was downloaded.
Cheers
Craig

Yikes. I would contact CSS directly on this because no one in these forums will truly be able to address your concerns.
Based solely on this blog post -- http://blogs.technet.com/b/clientsecurity/archive/2010/03/20/scanning-email-archives.aspx -- I would conclude that it doesn't scan any traffic and thus the protocol doesn't matter; it is an archive scanner and thus only
scans e-mails once they are written or committed to disk.
The assumption that client based anti-malware products make is that the e-mail server is itself already protected at the gateway level.
Even so though, if this was phishing attack, there's nothing malicious about the e-mail itself so the setting doesn't really apply as it was the content downloaded from the malicious site that the user unwittingly accessed that caused the damage. Outlook
is generally good at at recognizing spoofed URLs used in phishing attacks though.
So, going back to my original statement, you should contact Microsoft CSS to see where the gap was.

IPAD and EMAIL - Earthlink

I just got a new Ipad and my earthlink contacts are not loading. Getting all the emails, but cannot access contacts. Any idea?

If you are using Earthlink webmail then export the contacts to a service to which yo can sync the iPad's Contacts with. Google Contacts is one such service To export go to Earthlink Webmail>Preferences>Address Book and click on Export.
The go to Google Contacts and import them.

TS3276 Mavericks and email attachments with photos

I am using Mavericks and when I forward a message with a picture, several receipents replay no picture came thru. Whats happening

We use Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 and all i-devies running ios 5 have problems with attachments who include mutations.
Test with an Exchange Server 2007 made no issue with any i-device.
After hours of testing i came to this conclusion:
Apples announcement ios4 and higher fully supports Exchange Server 2003 SP2 is FALSE.
Thus all iDevices will be replaced through Android devices which have no problems at all at any version of Exchange.
That's cheaper instead of buying a new Exchange Server.
Sorry but i don't like to be fooled. Next time do your homework.

IPad and mail attachments

Hi guys, please can someone tell me how to add an attachment to an email? Sound strange but I'm not able to do that.
Thanks in advance

On the iPad you can do so from the app that you are using/viewing what you want to attach in (probably not from every single app) e.g. I can send a note from in Notes, a picture from in Photos, a document in Goodreader etc. But you can't, for example, from inside Mail say 'attach this photo'

My email attachments won't open after ios7.1 update on 4s! HELP!

I recently updated my 4s to the new software, iOS7.1. Since then, my Word document email attachements are not opening. When I try and open attachments I just get a message saying "OfficeOpen XML word processing document" on a blank screen. All attachments were opening before the update... so I was wondering;
Is my phone "too old" for this software? (Phone is only 16 months old)
Are the attachments emailed to me, in the wrong format for me to open them?
Or is there something I need to change in the settings so I can open email attachments????
Please help!
I rely on my phone to email on the run for my job so desperatly need to get it working again!
I also have an iPad2 and have updated it to the new iOS7.1 software and email attachments and everything else is working fine.... just my phone isn't!
Thank you all so much for your help.

I have same problem when I upgraded to ios 7.1. I have done the test that by sending a attachment both in .doc format and docx format but still cannot open the attachement and the message said "OfficeOpen XML word processing document", I have tested another iPhone in ISO 7 which don't have any issues to open.
I don't why Apple still don't doing something to solve it. We are well known that iPhone / iPad is not only for home use, we are use this everyday for work. Please kindly give us solution.

IPhone Email attachments

Hopefully this will help others also. I contacted Apple iPhone tech support and was switched to the second level support (some very knowledegable people there). I was asking about the inability of the iPhones to send or receive attachments. Currently the iPhone can receive attachments only if the sender sends the email using only plain text format. If sent in HTML or RTF, an attached file will only appear in the body as either a winmail.dat icon or box with question mark icon. Neither of which can be selected to do anything. I tested reveiving plain text, html and rtf to confirm. For sending, we iPhone owners are only able to send from the photos section. I have also written to the development group asking for the standard attachment features you would find in a smartphone to be added to the iPhone.
Please corect me if I am wrong? I would like to hear about it.
Thank you

I've received photo attachments which were attached to an email that was composed in HTML without issue so it isn't required for all senders to use Plain Text when sending attachments to an iPhone user but if everyone used Plain Text for message composition, the majority if not all problems experienced with the exchange of email and email attachments would be eliminated.
If sent in HTML or RTF, an attached file will only appear in the body as either a winmail.dat icon or box with question mark icon.
If you receive a message with an attachment that appears as winmail.dat in the message body, this indicates the sender of the message is a Winblows Outlook user that composed the message with attachment using RTF. This is a major bug with Outlook that Microslop has known about for a very long time and has chosen not to fix - which only occurs when such a message sent by Outlook (composed using RTF with an attachment) is opened/viewed by a non-Outlook email client. When receiving such an attachment - which will be the same when opening such a message (composed with RTF via Outlook) with any non-Outlook email client, you need to ask the sender to use HTML or preferably Plain Text instead of RTF when sending messages to you which they can do on a per recipient in their address book basis - send all message to rwmac22 as Plain Text, etc.
The winmail.dat problem applies to the sender using Outlook as their email client and using RTF for message composition - this is the only email client this applies to.

My iPhone, iPad and G5 cant open PDF or Word attachments on emails generated from a specific PHP written system.

I use iPhone, iPad and G5 receiving emails generated from a PHP written system hosted on 1and1. I cant open PDF or Word attachments on any emails. The attachment's file names are displayed at the bottom of the email with no link. No problem on Windows Outlook. Is it me, 1and1 or the PHP system!? Does Apple OS handle email attachments differently to Windows? Help!?

Followed your instructions on my iPhone running 4.3.5 and my iPad which is running iOS 5 beta 4... IT WORKS!
Thanks a lot!

My ipad 2 is locked in the outbox of the email, I was trying to send picture and video attachments. Now I can't even get to my inbox.

My ipad 2 email is stuck in the outbox and it will not send emails, it started when I attached pictures & vidoes, now nothing will send. I can't even get out of the outbox to get to my mail.
Please advise

What happends when you press the Home button? If nothing, try resetting your iPad by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

How do I open email pdf's on iPad and iPhone?

HII have an iPad on Ios7 and an iPhone 4. I can't open PDF attachments on either device. When I click I them in the email, it starts to load in Safari with the blue line running across. The line then disappears and then a blank page appears.
I've tried downloading Adobe from the App Store In order to 'share' by clicking on the icon that is a square with an arrow poking out of the top, however Adobe doesn't appear here when I click on it - just message, mail, twitter and facebook. There's no option to 'open in' on the bar underneath this (the one with bookmarks, reading list etc).
can anyone help please?
My mail account is an @me.com on iCloud.
Thanks.
Fran.x

lillylocket,
What is your mail app on your iPad and iPhone? Typically PDF attachments are opened in the preview screen of Apple Mail. But it sounds like your PDF attachments are opened in Safari.
Please you take a look at the Safari section of the following FAQ documents to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS.
For iPad, How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 or 8 version)
For iPhone, How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 or 8 version)
As you have discovered, Safari does not include the "Open In" options for the Share button.
When you tap anywhere in a PDF document in Safari, the secondary toolbar is displayed below the top toolbar. You need to look for the text label button "Open In..." instead of the Share button.
Hope this helps.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

I can't open email attachments on my ipad that have an arrow on them. Those with a W open just fine. Also can't open jpeg files-- they also have an arrow on them. Any ideas?

Hi, I can't open email attachments that have an arrow on them. Attachments with a W (windows) open just fine. I have an ipad 3. Thanks for any ideas.

Attachments that show as a bold downward pointing arrow in a gray rectangle in a dotted box have not yet been downloaded to your phone (usually because they are large). Tapping such an icon should download the attachment if you are connected to the internet and your mail server is reachable. Once downloaded, they should appear as normal (which would depend on the attachment type).
This is the "Using iPhone" forum, so I said phone, but the same applies on an iPad.
