Jpg attachments corrupt under leopard mail and hang message

I-phone: Message shows fine
Exchange on Leopard: Message shows up fine
Leopard Mail Dual PPC G5: Message hangs
Leopard Mail MacBook Pro Intel: Message hangs
The only way to see the corrupted message is to choose "forward as attachment". When opening it it shows that the jpg image looks to be the instigator..... (the old millions of lines of code issue)
Anyone else having similar issues?

Same here. I have a client that uses outlook. He has an auto-signature in his mail client. Part of his signature is a JPG of his corporate logo. Every email he sends freezes (it says loading, but nothing happens... I haven't waiting long enough to see an error message). I called him and had him send a test with no logo. Works just fine. So, it is specifically the logo in his signature line that is causing the error.

  • Snow Leopard, Mail and Recovered message

    I just installed Snow Leopard and every time I open Mail, it "Recovers" some message 2 or 3 times, I never had this problems before, it began the next hour after installed SL.
    Any idea please,
    Thank you

    Hi Ernie,
    I run a private IMAP server I run on my home LAN - primarily for moving email between my Windows Live (Hotmail) mail folders, and Mac Mail. I use a PC to copy email from Hotmail to the IMAP server, and then the Mac to retrieve those messages (I'm also fairly new to Mac - well, the last time I used it in anger it was System 7!).
    The private IMAP server is normally reliable, but occasionally a largeish file appears to fail to transfer from Mac to IMAP folder (never from PC to IMAP folder) - it then becomes 'stuck', not appearing in either the POP3 inbox, or the destination folder.
    But - and this is the worrying part - Mail whirs away and 'recovers' the stuck email into a 'Recovered Messages' folder. A minute later it whirs some more and creates another copy of the SAME email in the same folder. A minute later and another copy is created.
    This carries on - I've left it alone, restarted Mail, restarted the Mac, but each time it creates a new copy of the stuck email. I've seen 20 copies of the same email created. If left unchecked I could imagine it filling
    I've tried moving the email out of the folder back into the POP3 inbox, into another IMAP folder, just deleting the messages and emtying the Mail trash - but each time Mail whirs away and carries on creating recovered copies of the same email.
    The only way I have found to stop this from happening is to remove the account, restart Mail and then re-add the account for the IMAP server. It then downloads all the messages again and the problem is gone.
    Is there just a way to remove the 'stuck' message, or tell Mail to ignore the recovered message so it doesn't create multiple copies?
    Cheers, Richard

  • Saving attachments on Snow leopard mail loses file extension when saving over an existing document

    Saving attachments on Snow leopard mail loses the file extension when clicking on an existing file to copy the name. Is there something I can switch on in the preferences to fix this?

    I work for a publishing company where our clients send their copy to us in Word documents. We might have several versions sent to us before the final version comes in.
    It is instances like this where we want to overwrite a document on the server with the most up-to-date version (which is usually named differently to the original file). We really don't want to clutter the folder with lots of different revisions. The quick way to do this is to click on the document we are replacing (this copies the document name). Previous versions of OSX Mail used to keep the file extension but Snow Leopard seems to remove it.
    It's annoying as there is no particular logic to this. We just have to manually type ".doc" at the end of the document.
    Incidentally, this happens with any attachment file type.

  • HT201342 I cannot find any place to "Go to Mail Preferences".  I have tried looking under both "Mail" and "System Preferences" and there is nothing there entitled "Mail Preferences".  Where is that button located?

    The instructions say "Go to Mail Preferences."
    I cannot find any place called "Mail Preferences".  I have tried looking under both "Mail" and "System Preferences" and there is nothing there entitled "Mail Preferences". Under "Preferences" there is no subheading as described in the iCloud instructions.  Where is that "Mail Preferences" button located?

    Open Mail, go to the 'Mail' menu, select Preferences.

  • How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

    How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
    Is this possible? I don't see any options?
    All I see is this:
      Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for  
       transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
          Your bill is ready for review.
         Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been  received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
         Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

    What phone?
    You would need to disable data on the phone itself.  You wouldn't do it online on your account.
    Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.

  • It stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

    Recently, Thunderbird stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

    Further notes (different user, same problem):
    * This is a problem that started in Thunderbird 32
    * This involves both automatic (filter) moves and manual moves
    * This includes use of keys and hotkeys (the delete key, for example)
    * Restarting Thunderbird does seem to "reset" the problem... for a while. I notice the problem most when either I've been away from the computer/program for a while or when waking a laptop computer from a sleep or hibernation state.

  • Clients don't recieve JPG-attachments sent with Yosemite Mail

    I am a graphic designer and I used Lokiware's Attachment Tamer prior to Yosemite. Now that the software is not available für this version of mail (and it seems doubtful that it ever will be) I went back to using Mail without it.
    Ever since, some of my clients (using PCs) don't seem to be able to recieve attachments in JPG-Format from me. They just don't show up at their end, as if I wouldn't have attached them in the first place. Putting the files in an ZIP is a workaround, but a very clumsy and frustrating one.
    Other file formats, such as PDF show up just fine.
    For a few other clients it still works.
    I haven't found anything online about this behaviour. Any others who experienced the same problem? Did anyone find the cause & a solution?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    But if you think the problem is with Outlook being used to recieve my emails, I am pretty certain that can't be the whole story either. The only problem prior to Yosemite was attachments being embedded instead of attached (which is why i started using Attachment Tamer). But now the attachment are completely missing. This sounds like a different problem.
    Each version of Outlook has its own bug that prevents viewing attachments (or retrieving them).
    It also can be some coincidental change on the servers at either end.
    Either your email provider or your recipient's email provider may be stripping them.
    Can you view your sent mail on your Email server's web portal? If so, see if the attachment is intact there.
    Did you uninstall Attachment Tamer? Just wondering if there might be some lingering code doing something weird.

  • Apple Mail and Sent Messages

    I have been having some issues with my iCloud email account and Mavericks. I wasn't sure if this was an iCloud issue or an issue with Apple Mail. It has to do with saving Sent messages. A couple of months ago, I had some issues with Mail. I deleted the com.apple.mail and com.apple.MailServiceAgent folders in ~Library/Containers and I deleted any plist files in Preferences. It worked for a couple months. Then, about two weeks ago, I noticed Sent emails were not be saved any where on my iMac.
    So, I repeated the procedure and created Mail anew. It worked great for about a week. I always have the "save sent messages to server" option turned on. Then, one day I got some kind of message that a folder called "Sent" could not be created on the server. Looking at Mail, my Sent folder was completely gone. All of my previously saved messages in Sent were moved to the folder INBOXToDos.mbox/Sent Messages.
    At first I thought iCloud itself was messed up. I logged into iCloud. There was no Sent mailbox, and there was no INBOXToDo mailbox. So, now I have no sent messages anywhere in iCloud. I sent an email from Safari in iCloud, and then, iCloud created the Sent mailbox.
    Still, my Mavericks iMac will not save sent messages anywhere. I need help sorting this out and don't want to lose my previous sent messages even though they seem to be stored in some wonky folder.

    Where is the Sent Messages folder listed? If it is not under MAILBOXES but in an IMAP folder, select it and go to Mailbox menu, Use this mailbox for>Sent.
    It should disappear and sent messages then appear in the Sent folder.

  • Mac Mail and Gmail Messages

    Hello,
    I'm trying to setup my mac mail application to retrieve mail from my GMail account. I got it working, the only problem is that it is trying to retrieve ALL of my gmail. I must have over 4000 e-mails from the last 4 years. Is there any way to set it up so it only retrieves new e-mails?
    Thanks!

    I read some instructions on how to setup the POP email, and I seem to get the same result. I looked for the option to download only new mail and I couldnt find it, in the mailbox behaviors tab or advanced tab. This is leopard I am in, could it be different?

  • Internet Mail only says "All Mail" and "No Messages"

    I have Bold 9700 with OS 6 and 4 different emails set up. I have work email with BES for Exchange and three different internet email accounts. All of them have been working fine until today. I have my icons set up so there is a different one for each mail account. The "Messages" icon is set up so that only the BES work email is viewable there. The three internet email accounts each have their own icon. When I open the icon for the problem email account it just says * No Messages * and at the top where it used to have the name of that email account it just says "All Mail". I am still receiving email to this account and I can access it by hitting the blackberry button, selecting Filter, and clicking Inbox. This is very inconvenient however, and I want to make it work the way its supposed to and how the other email accounts work. I tried the following with no success:
    1. Power off, pull out battery, wait a minute, put back in and power on.
    2. Pull out the battery while it is on and put it back in.
    3. Delete the email account and recreate it (it just picked up the old settings).
    Please help!!! I know I must have screwed up the view settings for this account but I can't figure out how to fix it.

    Hola octaviolpgr.
    Not sure what you mean by “I've just re-installed Mac OSX Tiger”. If you did an Archive and Install, your mail should all be there, just like the rest of your data.
    Anyway, Gmail doesn’t allow the same message to be downloaded more than once via POP by normal means. To make already downloaded messages available for POP access again, you must go to Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP page, select Enable POP for all mail, and click Save Changes.

  • Email attachments corrupted in Apple Mail

    Hi, I just had to clean-install OS X Lion (10.7.3), I synched my e-mail accounts (Gmail apps account) with Apple Mail (5.3) and some attachments (mainly PDFs and DOCs) are now corrupted when trying to open up in Apple Mail. In the Google Mail web access the corrupted attachments can be opened perfectly. Has anybody experienced this issue?

    Mark, I don't know if you're still following this thread, but I've solved my problem.
    The issue is bizarrre but seems to be connected with slow connections (I saw this mentioned elsewhere but had discounted it as rubbish!).  It seems the reason the pdf's will not display is that they are getting truncated by Mail. 
    What I did was to wait until I was connected to a fast internet connection and then rebuilt my mail box (under Mail | Mailbox | Rebuild).  I tried rebuilding the mailbox before but I was still connected with my phone and the problem persisted.
    It seems to have fixed the issue for me.  Hope it may help you.

  • Leopard Mail and Filemaker pro - "Send Mail" is s-l-o-w

    When I upgraded to Leopard, I began having a problem with the "Send Mail" function in Filemaker Pro, even after I upgraded to the latest version. Previously, sending mail with an attachment to 300 BCC addresses went very quickly - about 10 seconds. Since Leopard, I have begun seeing each address get loaded into the BCC line, an operation taking 20 minutes or more. Has anyone else seen this, and are there any suggestions on how to remedy it?

    You might try this.
    MAC Mail, for some reason, wants a DNS server setting in the network setup.
    Under System Preferences, go to Network and add your DNS numbers for your ISP Server. Get the right numbers from your ISP. I did a search for "DNS" on the ATT/YAHOO member web site.
    This fixes the slow checking and sending of mail....It also fixes problems where mail sends slow and may give Authentication errors.
    I spent many hours on this and finally the answer was posted on this forum.
    Public DNS servers are less likely to be changed. They have been tried and do work. Nobody knows why.
    For Public DNS servers look at.

  • Saving attachments in snow leopard mail

    I upgraded from tiger to snow leopard. In Tiger's Mail application I could click on the save button in emails and the attachments would be saved in my default picture download folder. Now in snow leopard's mail I can't just click and the attachments will be saved. I have to click and hold on the save button and then I have to navigate to the desired destination folder every time. How do I designate a default folder of mail attachments to be saved to.

    What have you chosen in Mail Preferences/General with regard to the downloads folder? You should be able to make your choice there.
    What was your default folder when using Tiger?
    In Mail 4.x, the default may be the Downloads folder found in your User Folder (Home), but if you have any message with several photos, and in the message click on the Quick View button, Mail will create a Mail Downloads folder, and you could then choose that.
    More info, please.

  • Snow Leopard, Mail and iCloud - attacked by a Lion

    I just received the following email from Apple:
    You can now retain your me.com or mac.com address and keep your email
    working after MobileMe ends, even if you don’t meet iCloud requirements.
    I thought the "Even if you don't meet iCloud requirements" might mean Snow Leopard would be OK, but NO according to a chat with an Apple representative. I'm confused and frustrated.
    I have many accounts coming into my Mac Mail - from hotmail, gmail, web email addresses, etc.  I use Mac Mail 4.5 as a hub for my home business that I'm trying to get going.  Months of work, and been a happy Mobile Me member for years.  I'm now familiar with the software I use to work my business, but much would be lost if I move to Lion.  Quite honestly, what Lion can offer, I'm not that interested in. I'd just got comfortable and forked out enough money on software etc, then a LION comes along! I want all my mail accounts still to work - ie RECEIVE AND SEND EMAIL from all my accounts
    So what to do? (more hours of work caused by Apple's semi-enforced upgrade to Lion? - Am I a lone voice here?)
    Thanks for any assistance

    The image you uploaded isn't working, but I'm assuming what has happened is your MobileMe account has moved to iCloud - Apple is doing this for you because they are killing MobileMe and replacing it with iCloud - and your OS (Snow Leopard) doesn't have an iCloud setting in Mail.
    But it does work.
    This website has a step by step walkthrough with pictures. Very easy.
    If that doesn't work, try this. The only downside to this, I believe, is that since they are setting it up as a POP account, your read/unread won't be synced. So if you read an email on your iPhone, your Mac won't know it's read. If that's not an issue for you, then go for it.
    I hope everything works out for you. I know sometimes these changes can be frustrating, but they're usually for the best in the long run. It's just the transition that can be tough.
