IPad continually only receives emails WITH attachments
I have been experiencing something really bizarre lately with my iPad (3rd generation). Every now and then, the email seems to get 'stuck' and will ONLY fetch emails from the server that have attachments. It's really quite strange. If I check the email via the provider's (Comcast's) website, I can see many new emails that have arrived, but unless they have an attachment, they will not get pulled down from the server to my iPad.
Things I have done:
- Completely removed my email accounts and started over
- Verified the settings on the other clients I use to ensure that it is not set to delete messages on the server.
I have read previous solutions that suggested the problem may be related to some kind of 'corrupt' email on the server which is preventing other messages from being retrieved. The recommended solution there was to take all of the emails that were currently on the server and 'quarantine' them by putting them in a different folder. That seemed to work for a while, but it keeps recurring.
I don't actually think this is a problem with the iPad, as it is reproducable on my Kindle Fire, my Android tablet, and my iPod Touch, so I feel pretty sure the problem lies on the mail server. But it is only ONE account. I have approximately 7 Comcast email accounts and it is only that one particular account that is experiencing the issue. So, yeah, you may be asking yourself why am I posting this here if I'm pretty sure it's not the iPad that's the problem... well, you guys are pretty smart, and perhaps someone has run into this kind of issue before with their provider. I know that calling Comcast is absolutely useless, and they'll just tell me to use their app, but that's really frustrating and inconvenient.
Any suggestions?
Found what I was doing wrong.
First, finditems retrieves items and not just emails, so I had to switch the schema to ItemSchema. This one has a HasAttachments property on it, that when set to true will cause the filter to find only items that have one or more attachments.
Setting it to false finds items that have no attachments.
SearchFilter.IsEqualTo sfEmailsWithAttachments = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(ItemSchema.HasAttachments, true);
Also, found that finditem is designed to only return summary information that can then be used to decide whether to retrive the full item in a getitem command. This was done by Microsoft to expidite searches on Exchange. So, even though finditem
will find only emails with attachements, the returned items may not neccesarily have things like counts for the attachments. You would have to retrieve the whole email with getItem using the retrieved item's ID to do manipulations on any lower level
fields.

Mail not receiving emails with attachments
Hi
I'd appreciate any suggestions in relation to the following.
My wife and I both run computers from the one account, Mail on her PowerBook logging in through my name and password. Until recently, we have had no problems at all. However, it has come to light that my wife has not been receiving emails with attachments for some time. To test this, my wife sent an email with an attachment to her home email address from work, and copied it to me. I received the email and the attachment on my PC; my wife's Mac did not receive the email. I then forwarded the email with the attachment to her computer; this was successful. This would suggest some problem with her Mail account on the Mac. However, the configuration has not been changed. Is it possible for it just to stop working for some reason?I'm using a PC for my email at the moment. I'm not sure if all my wife's emails have been downloaded. However, Mail has made a Home/Mail/MessageUidsAlreadyDowloaded file. This was created when I sent an email to test what happened. I was unable to make Mail download all her emails, so I guess they must have gone from the server. She has a different email address to mine, but it's run from the same ISP account; as I said, she logs in, automatically, through Mail to her email. I have contacted the ISP about it, but they are unable to see any trace of emails that colleagues have sent my wife and which she sends home to herself. All of these files happen to have attachments, but I cannot see any setting of Mail which would account for them being rejected. Also, I can't be entiurely sure that only emails with attachments don't get through; there may be others, 'unattached'.
Thanks for your continued assistance. -
Exchange 2010 can't send or receive email with attachments.
Hello,
We have an Exchange 2010 server, running under Windows 2008R2. Both the server and Exchange are current for Windows and Exchange updates. Exchange is on SP3 installed about a month ago with no errors reported in the event logs.
The problem is that attachments over about 1 MB do not send or receive and no error message is returned. If I send an email message with a 3 MB attachment to myself, it reports as sent in Outlook. On the Exchange server the message queue shows nothing in
the queue. I try to use Exchange mail flow tracking tool and it hangs when selecting “messages received from” option. I gave up waiting after 5 minutes for the display to populate.
As the server is set attachments should be able to send and receive up to 20 MB.
I checked and verified all settings I could find related to this. I checked with the Exchange Management Console per the following article:
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2010/management-administration/managing-limits-exchange-server-2010-part1.html
I also checked using the Exchange Power Shell using the following article:
http://eightwone.com/2010/09/29/exchange-message-size-limits/
Both show that all settings are suitable. Details are below
I would appreciate feedback on this problem.
Thank you!
Details from the articles noted above:
First test was to attach a 3 mb text file in Outlook sent from my in house account to my in house account. After 5 minutes the test message was not received nor was there an error message returned.
Checked The Exchange server mail queue and there was nothing in the queue. Checked the Exchange mail flow tracking tool and it hung when selecting “messages received from” option.

How do I open attachments such as .
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear/play pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs running Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard, but has not been tested on Lion, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
First read this: Adding additional media format support to Quicktime:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3526
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac and operating system, of:
RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
You should also consider the Shockwave Player, which displays Web content that has been created by Adobe Director, much used for multimedia: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/adobeshockwaveplayer.ht ml
Note that if are running an Intel Mac you need version 11 of Shockwave Player as previous versions only run natively on PPC Macs:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/822/82216d24.html
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs using OS X prior to Lion,, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/10/29/apples_ios_pushes_microsoft_to_dia l_down_silverlight_for_html5.html and
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11673384
Recommendation: Close all applications before installing any of the above, repair permissions, reboot, and repair permissions again. -
Mail not receiving emails with word attachments

I can not send email from my iPad . Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email. I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?
I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone??? -

Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only
Hi Nortarian,
The article below will walk you through the troubleshooting steps for email on your iPad:
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
Hope this helps ....

TS3276 receive email with .dat attachments
I have begun receiving emails with .dat files attached from my coworkers who use Outlook. Somehow, these files replace the attached files that my coworkers intended to send and Mail doesn't seem to be able to open/process them. I would really appreciate any advice on how to overcome this as I am starting to be pressured to give up my Mac.
.DAT files is a file has arbitrary data and is not associated with any one particular program or application. When you see a file with a .XLS extension, you know it’s referring to an Excel file, and so on. But with .DAT files, you have to figure out how to open it yourself and it may not be the same program each time.
The best way to open a .DAT file is to use the program that created it. You may want to ask the sender to send it in a different format, like .pdf.
Winmail.dat files come from those Microsoft Outlook or Exchange programs and are some sort of archive method. Somewhere in outlook they get automatically created when forwarding email messages and Mac users have long wondered what they are and how to open them. Of course Windows users have no idea what they are either and think it’s all the receivers issue when we say we never got an attachment.

Sending email with attachments not working on Lumi...
It is not possible to attach a file to an email, either via WiFi or my 4G connection. I have two different Office365 email accounts (work and private) that work perfectly when sending/receiving emails with/without attachments. However when I try and share a photo (from any folder in Photos) I can select a photo, choose Share-->Email account, but when it brings up the email message screen there is nothing attached. The same thing happens if I create an ordinary email and try to attach any file, it won't attach and the email sends OK without the attachment.
It is not an issue with the email accounts as I can send/receive attachments OK from my laptop and iPad. It is only when I try and send from my 1520.
This has got me baffled!try to delete the account and re-add the account.
then, try to take a picture and immediately go to that image by tapping it on the screen and sharing as you stated.
if that doesn't work, then I wonder if the device is corrupted and the images are not "really there"
can you see the images on your skydrive account?
have you tried to do a soft reset?
Soft Reset-
Hold Vol- & Pwr until the device shuts down
When the device vibrates and starts to reboot, release ONLY Pwr button, still holding the Vol-
When you see the (!) on your screen, then release the Vol- button and wait until the device boots.
Your device is now soft reset -
Mail saving all emails with attachments in "Drafts"
Since I upgraded to Mavericks (not Maverick or Maverick's...??) Mail has put a copy of every email I send that has an attachment into the "Drafts" folder. The email has been sent and received by the recipient, and you can find it in the "Sent" folder as well. Never had this issue before. I can't find a preference that has any effect on it.
Any ideas??

Functionality to send email with attachments.(all types ot attachments)
Hi experts,
I have an requirement to modify the existing workflow to include the new part/functionality to send the email with attachments.
I mean, the existing workflow is sending only the notification as of now, the new requirement was i need to add the new functionalaity such a way the email functionality needs to be enabled so that the receiver who is receiving the notification will also get the email as well along with the attachments.
Note* Attachment could be of any types like pdf,tex,word etc...
Please suggest will it be possible to achieve this functionalites?
Any sample code will be a great help for me.
Thanks in advance,
Thiru.You can send attachments in email notification by defining message attributes of type document. Oracle Workflow supports document types called "PL/SQL" documents, "PL/SQL CLOB" documents, and "PL/SQL BLOB" documents.
You can go through the below document for defining documents.

I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. And some contacts occasionally have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel Mac. A real Mac **** up ! Any ideas ?
Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things. -
Updated my AppleID account info. Under password security shows an email address to be used to receive email with new password settings. I need to update that email address, how do I do that? Thanks!
Thanks for the help Niel. I couldn't change the rescue email address (an address that no longer exists and is therefore useless) until I could correctly answer the security questions. After numerous guesses, finally got them right. Was then presented with the option to change the rescue email address. Guess the only other option was to have Apple Support make the change or reset my account info. Have made note of the correct answers so this won't happen again. Thanks for the fast response!!

Hey Guys,
The title says it all. Whenever I receive an email with attachments, I will try to forward the email to someone with the attachments. Mac Mail shows that the attachments are attached, but the receiver says the attachments are not there. Our mail host is Rackspace. We are setup with IMAP. It should be noted that we are experiencing similar issues with OS 10.5.8 with Mac Mail 3.6 (936).
We assumed Rackspace was the problem, so we logged into their webmail portal and tested it and the attachments were received as normal, which points everything back to Mac Mail. We even had an ISP change but the problem do not change.
I have researched the problem, and there seems to be evidence of this being a known bug with Mac Mail, but I am hoping there is a workaround. The company is unwilling to move to a different mail client since they use Daylite 4, which does not support Thunderbird.Back up all data.
1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
