IPhoto-originated email using Mail sends no text

When using the email feature from iPhoto 4.0.3, a new message window opens in my default mail program - Apple Mail - without the photo in it. The attached photo does, however get emailed, even if I can't see it.
The real and far more irksome trouble is that whatever I type in the message is simply discarded, and all that goes out is the attached photo. I verified this first by checking the contents of Sent folder as well as sending test messages to myself. If I check either or both titles or comments, those are included, but no other text that I enter.
The workaround, quite clunky, is to save to Drafts, then open the draft and enter the text there and then send that.
I can't find anything in prefs for either application that addresses this. I have quit and relaunched and restarted. All no good.
Any ideas on why iPhoto combined with Mail is mucking up like this? Advice would be much appreciated, which i suppose is a pretty common sentiment around here....

Thanks for your reply. No, no mistake, i'm running 10.4.6 and iPhoto 4.0.3. When I downloaded v.6 it told me that it was uninstallable owing to there not being a qualified version present on the drive. So, it does not appear that 10.4 got me iPhoto 6 -- was it supposed to? My computer and Apple seem to hink not. And any other ideas as to why this should be happening? I don't feel like spending the money to upgrade to v.6.

Problem emailing using Mail from iPhoto.

When I email photos from iPhoto using Mail and have text under the photos some of the recipients receive the photos with the text superimposed onto the photo making it illegible. Is there some way to avoid this? If I send a copy to me everything is fine. I am not using any of the "fancy' templates in iPhoto, just plain photos with text.

Since posting this I found another post about this problem. The response to that post should solve my problem.

How to maintain format in html email using the send email....

Does anyone know how to maintain the format in a HTML email using the Send E-mail To Recipients From Recordset behavior?
When text only is selected instead of HTML text on the Options tab the format of the input is maintained, but when HTML text is selected the email has no format. I have tried to use a replace \n with
as I have done when hand coding PHP, BUT I am trying to learn to use ADDT. I also tried to use a Custom trigger without success.
Help!

Hi Dave,
in my snippets folder I have this thing which I found on the old MX Kollection forums and which was suggested by the Interakt staff:
//trigger SendEmail (write content)
function Trigger_SendEmail(&$tNG) {
ob_start();
include("myDynamicContentFile.php");
$mailcontent = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$emailObj = new tNG_Email($tNG);
$emailObj->setTo("[email protected]");
$emailObj->setFrom("[email protected]");
$emailObj->setSubject("A new User was added");
$emailObj->setContent($mailcontent);
$emailObj->setEncoding("UTF-8");
$emailObj->setFormat("text");
$emailObj->setImportance("Low");
return $emailObj->Execute();
//trigger SendEmail (write content)
The only modification is the possibility to include a dynamic PHP file rather than some static text or a HTML file which will also render textarea contents on one line:
ob_start();
include("myDynamicContentFile.php");
$mailcontent = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
That said, it should be possible to define all the "rendering" options in the external PHP file, what would mean to apply the nl2br function there, e.g.: nl2br($row_queryname['columnname'])
What I´m not sue about is, if you will have to strip the external file´s head and body tags before it´s getting included -- however, please give this a try and tell us how it worked.

I recently saved a draft email using mail, but now whenever I try to reopen it, it says loading but will not load. All my other drafts load fine except for this one. Is there a way to access the draft outside of mail?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. <br>

Sending Duplicate emails using Mail and mBox for mac

I have been sending duplicate emails inadvertantly recently. It seems it's when I use mBox for mac (registered copy) in Mail to use my Hotmail with IMAP.
I hadn't noticed it at first, but now I see everytime I send a mail I get 2 copies in my sent box. I can turn off the store sent messages on server option to fix it (but that's the whole point of having IMAP!!), or I can turn off mBox for mac and it also seems to work (but then I can't use IMAP!).    I've also tried on the same machine from gmail, and iCloud accounts (MobileMe), and I had no issue at all. I've also tried 2 different Hotmail accounts, and both of them send double messages every time I send.
I've searched for a loooooong time, and can't find anyone with a similar issue - but surely I'm not the only one? I think anyone still using a hotmail account will eventually install something like mBox for mac if they've gone Mac recently - as I have.
I checked the mail headers of the 2 mails, and they are quite different (masked where appropriate) -

I'm surprised I can't find anyone else with a similar issue. I've submitted a support ticket with mBox/fluent factory, but I'm still not convinced it's their issue, and possibly a Mail on Mac issue.
Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

@ Kokola
Great staff!!! MBox Fluent Factory is very poor app.
I was having problem with duplicated sent emails and cleaning up my inbox, sent items and deleting emails. Try to contact them via email for over 3 months and never got a reply!
I just used the suggested configuration and my Entourage (email app for MAC) is working perfetcly. I can visualise all my online folders now!
Thank you so much!
mBox never addressed the issue and the duplicated emails reached new levels of annoyance but the good thing is that Hotmail and Outlook.com finally rolled out support for IMAP.
Incoming Mail Server: imap-mail.outlook.com
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/outlook/send-receive-from-app
No more duplication issues once you switch over, and no need for a third party (mBox)software to bridge the missing feature gap.

IPhoto crashes when using Mail to send photos

Hello All,
I hope that someone can help me with this issue. I am using MAIL to send photos via the iPhoto button. Everytime I try sending a photo using this method, the computer freezes up and I can't even forcequit, restart, open up AMON..nothing! Someone please explain to me why it is doing this and what possible solutions there are. I looked on the forums for a previously posted issue, and I wasn't able to find anything. Thanks in advance for the help.

Bug in iPhoto v6 when using Mail

Bug in image quality when sending photos with Mail.
Description:
I click on Email icon in iPhoto, and then choose Medium as the quality, that's when iPhoto tells me that the Photo Count = 1, and Estimated Size = 122Kb. And then the Mail app opens, and I see the same photo inside the message composition window, and now Mail tells me that the Message Size = 55Kb (on the status line at the bottom). And When I send that photo to myself, I receive a photo which is about 40Kb in size, and the photo looks just terrible... how can it look good at 640x480 with only 40Kb?
Is this a bug, or I can change the jpeg quality somewhere? My friend has a 2-year old iMac with iPhoto 5 and when she sends me pictures the same Medium size they are closer to 100Kb each
We did a little test: I sent her the same photo in original size, and then she sent me back the Medium Size, and it was around 90Kb. How can I fix/change this, or am I cursed by this BUG in iPhoto v. 6? or a bug in Mail?
Thanks.
MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Misio:
Even though iPhoto said the final size would be 122 KB for a medium size, my test, a 4.2 MB file came in at 68 KB. Another test with a 2 MB file was estimated at 122 KB but came in around the 68 KB size. I think the 122 kb value is hard coded into the application as an approximation only before compressing and not really a bug. Maybe a poor approximation, however.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Running mac OS 10.5.8, Using Mail 3.5, Text encoding set to Automatic. messages arrive, but the message is 200 lines of alphanumerics. Top says Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64.

I use Mail 3.6 and some incoming email messages start with
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
then go on to 200+ lines of alphanumerics (mostly upper and lower case letters).
What causes this problem, how can I fix it?
Text encoding is set to Automatic, and I'm not using any fancy fonts. Senders are usually
sending from PCS that may well use Outlook.

Exchange invite is not appearing in email (using mail)

Hi,
I am using Mail under Tiger for my email system. I have just been sent an ics invite email from the office exchange server, however mail is not showing me the attachement, so I cannot add it to iCal. If I look at the raw message I can see the ics attachement, but for some reason mail isn't picking it up!
I have mail set to not automatically add invites to iCal, although setting it to automatic doesn't make a difference. As far as I am aware this invite was sent directly from the exchange server.
any help ?

same is happening with me. my girlfriend sent me a few invites for events she has in her outlook calender at work in exactly the same way she has always done. I had the option to accept the events before, now it just shows the text part of the mime message (again I can see the ics in the raw message) in Mail and does not create a new event in iCal. I have turned the option in the mail general prefs on and off again to no avail, could it be that I have multiple calanders and there is no option in Mail to choose qwhich calaender the mail events go to? I dont really want to trash my mail prefs unless absolutely necessary

Cannot access Yahoo Small Business email using Mail icon on main screen of IPad

Until recently I was able to access my Yahoo Small Business email using the main Email button on the home screen - along with my regular Yahoo email. When i contacted Yahoo Small Business for help, the gentleman was unable to help. He just gave me the link to setting up a Yahoo Account on Ipad. My regular Yahoo mail works fine so this wasn't helpful. He said that is all he can do.
I downloaded the Yahoo App and can access both email address from it, but it is less convenient. This tells me it isn't a password issue.
I have tried using:
Incoming mail (POP3) server
pop.bizmail.yahoo.com
use SSl
Port: 995
Outgoing mial (SMTP) server
smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com
use SSL
Port 465 or 587
If anyone can send me the correct steps to set up my small business email so that I can access it via the main button (which I was able to do until recently!), I would appreciate it. In addition, I access both via my Yahoo account on my laptop - no problem. I am using an iPad 2 that was upgraded to Version 7.

How can I choose multiple pictures, on the iPad, to attach in an email using Mail?

I can easily choose and attach one picture from Photos to an email in Mail. I cannot seem to figure out how to choose multiple pictures, then attach all of them at once. I even tried using a separate folder to attach but that did not work either. Thanks in advance.

From the Photos app tap Edit.
Tap to select up to 5 photos. More and the Mail option is not possible.
Tap Share.
Tap Mail.

I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, therefore i can no longer access my emails using mail. I can access my email through my Gmail account no problem, so how do i fix this as i cannot remember my IMAP password.

I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, as a result i cannot access my google email using the Mac Mail. I cannot remember what the password was for IMAP, so can anyone help to resolve this. i can access my mail by going directly to Google Mail.
Regards JKG1135

The password for use in the Mail application would be the same password you use when accessing Gmail by using an internet browser. The exception to that would be if you have 2-step verification enabled for Gmail. If that is the case then you would need to use an "application-specific password." If you are using 2-step, you can revoke the previous application-specific password and get a new one as described in https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

Picking mails from a particular sender using mail sender adapter

Hi Everyone,
I want to create a scenario in which i want to pick mails from a particular sender and send it to XI.
I don't want all the unread mails to be sent to XI but only those belonging from a particular sender.
How should i configure the mail sender adapter to achieve the same.
Thanks and Regards
Rahul Nawale

Hi,
there are two ways to do that:
not standard:
create a java proxy which will check your maibox for mails
from only one particular sender and then send messages
to the xi
more standard:
create a new accound and redirect your mails from a particular sender from the main mailbox to this new one
and poll from this new one only...
this way you'll be able to use atandard mail adapter
with no changes at all
Regards,
michal
